 <\/p>\n

Scheduled on May 9th 2021<\/strong>, the 24th Granfondo Internazionale Felice Gimondi \u2013 Bianchi<\/strong> marks a moment full of significance with the the return of the Bergamo<\/strong>\u2019s event after the year off while being the very first time without the Champion whose name it bears.<\/p>\n

According to an established tradition, the trophy of GF Gimondi-Bianchi 2021<\/strong> created by well-known Antonino Rando<\/strong>, Master-goldsmith and sculptor<\/strong> from Bergamo, will celebrate the memory of Felice Gimondi. In the midst of the bronze artwork<\/strong>, a sun symbolizes the light of Gimondi\u2019s life until he became an Italian pride. At the bottom, the three outfits worn by the Sedrina Champion<\/strong> from 1965 to 1979 stand out aside eleven shirts with raised arms represented to celebrate the main achievements of his career.<\/p>\n

Since the Granfondo\u2019s early edition, the trophy is made at Rando\u2019s lab<\/strong> in Alm\u00e9 (Bergamo)<\/strong>, using a unique wax technique. The trophy concept has been studied with the event\u2019s organizer Giuseppe Manenti<\/strong>: the iconography bronze measures 25x25cm<\/strong>, weighing over 4.5 kg<\/strong>. \u201cCompared to past editions, we tried to represent not just a moment in Gimondi\u2019s life but to sum up his entire career. The sun in the middle symbolizes how Felice Gimondi\u2019s lifetime was full of light for himself and for those around him<\/em>\u201d, Master Antonino Rando explains. <\/p>\n

The silver medals and those for finisher have been produced with the same graphic layout. Over the years, the medal has become an iconic souvenir of the event, a symbol of passion for cycling and for Felice Gimondi, rewarding the participants’ effort to reach a personal goal.<\/p>\n

The 2021 GF Gimondi – Bianchi will be held on the three classic routes \u2013 short <\/strong>(89,4 km<\/strong>), medium<\/strong> (128,8 km<\/strong>) and long<\/strong> (162,1 km<\/strong>) – personally drafted by Felice Gimondi.<\/p>\n
