First the masked bike ride, then the party at the PP Sport Events offices in Sandrigo (Vicenza). After last year's zero edition, Filippo Pozzato organized the Carnival Circuit for the second time, gathering around 180 people between those who rode bicycles and those who only participated in the party.

For the occasion, the former professional cyclist from Vicenza had closed a 2.5 km circuit to traffic, which was to be repeated 25 times, for a total of 50 km. Some rode slowly, showcasing their costumes (see cover photo), while others tackled it like a true criterium, pushing hard from the first to the last kilometer (Pozzato among them).

Afterwards, it was time to celebrate, with DJs, sandwiches, beers, and drinks that entertained the Mardi Gras cyclists until around one in the morning.
