Felice wishes to gather in Bergamo the three 1965 Tour de France podium finishers, in the event that celebrates 50 years of his yellow jersey<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cOn May 10th, I would love to regroup the podium of \u2018my\u2019 Tour de France: myself, Raymond Poulidor, Gianni Motta.<\/em>\u201d Felice Gimondi<\/strong> has a dream to fulfil at the event that will celebrate his historical 1965 Tour de France<\/strong> yellow jersey in just less than three weeks. Granfondo Internazionale Felice Gimondi Bianchi<\/strong>\u2019s organization is going full steam. Today, April 16th<\/strong>, at Credito Bergamasco<\/strong>\u2019s headquarter in Bergamo<\/strong> (Italy), the 19th edition<\/strong> \u2013 taking place on May 10th<\/strong> – was presented: the guests were welcomed by a yellow catwalk and by the 22 special installations realized to recall and celebrate each of the stages that led Felice Gimondi to the triumph in Paris.<\/p>\n All cycling fans are looking forward to May 10th to join Felice Gimondi at the start of three beautiful courses, drafted by GM Sport<\/strong> organizing company, guided by Beppe Manenti<\/strong>. About 3.500 riders<\/strong> are expected at the start, 35% more than last year, with 25 represented Countries<\/strong> from all over the World: a significant promotion and International visibility also extended to Bergamo and its territory.<\/p>\n Bianchi<\/strong>, naming sponsor of the event, has an important anniversary to celebrate on its own \u2013 the 130th year of its history<\/strong> \u2013 and will invite about 200 guests and VIPs<\/strong> from all over the World to Bergamo. Together with a company that built on its past glory (much of it related to the name of Felice Gimondi himself) to create a very successful present on the international markets \u2013 establishing itself as a benchmark for style, perfection and technology \u2013 the Granfondo made clear show of its intention of extending its borders and consolidating as a big international cyclo-sportive event.<\/p>\n This year, the Granfondo comes in coincidence with Expo Milano<\/strong>, as Lombardy Sports Assessor Antonio Rossi<\/strong> mentioned. \u201cGimondi is an Expo testimonial, and an incredible Italian personality. To celebrate with him the 50th anniversary of his yellow jersey will be a unique opportunity, and I am looking forward to be at the start myself once again.<\/em>\u201d Just like him, every participant will choose among three beautiful routes: 89,4 km (short)<\/strong>, 128,8 km (medium)<\/strong> e 162,1 km (long)<\/strong>, where a huge number of operators and facilities will be working to guarantee the utter security and environmental care, two of Granfondo Gimondi\u2019s long-time priorities.<\/p>\n \u201cEverything seems to suggest that it will be a great event, as it must be to celebrate such an historical anniversary for Felice Gimondi. Also, the 130 years of Bianchi give us the opportunity to further strengthen a relationship that goes beyond the pure marketing. We share with Bianchi an identity and quality standard, both mirrored by our common Champion and icon,<\/em>\u201d stated the organizer, Beppe Manenti.<\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Felice wishes to gather in Bergamo the three 1965 Tour de France podium finishers, in the event that celebrates 50 years of his yellow jersey \u201cOn May 10th, I would love to regroup the podium of \u2018my\u2019 Tour de France: myself, Raymond Poulidor, Gianni Motta.\u201d Felice Gimondi has a dream to fulfil at the event that will celebrate his historical 1965 Tour de France yellow jersey in just less than […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2229,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2225","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-senza-categoria"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.granfondobgy.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2225","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.granfondobgy.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.granfondobgy.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.granfondobgy.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.granfondobgy.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2225"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.granfondobgy.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2225\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2230,"href":"https:\/\/www.granfondobgy.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2225\/revisions\/2230"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.granfondobgy.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2229"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.granfondobgy.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2225"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.granfondobgy.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2225"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.granfondobgy.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2225"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
