How can you condense thirty years of history into a few lines? How can you fit everything in? It's not easy to tell a long and complex story like ours, which began in the last century, during the Pantani excitement, retracing a path made of many small and big things that have made tuttoBICI a reference point for information in the world of bicycles and cycling in particular. That world made of races and riders, sports directors and masseurs, assistants, doctors and biomechanics, today nutritionists, psychologists and mental coaches.

How can you pack everything into a single page, when our story, everyone's story and everyday story, is much more complex and rich with nuances, made of high and low moments, of days that slipped by slowly and others incredibly fast, some with the wind at our backs, others overwhelmed by the libeccio? May 1995, the start of a new adventure: Gianfranco Josti calling me and proposing me to a publishing house (EuroSp) that was not yet Prima Pagina Edizioni (which would be born in December of the following year, when myself, the monumental Paolo Broggi and the reassuring Maria Beatrice Ajraghi, known to all as "Bibi", bought the publication creating our own publishing house), and with it we set sail towards the routes of cycling, with a group of friends on board who still accompany and support us today: from Angelo Costa to Cristiano Gatti, irreplaceable and precious friends and colleagues, talented and generous like few others, just like Silvano and Silvana Rodella and their fantastic boys Paolo and Fabio, a reference point not only for the tuttoBICI family, but for cycling as a whole for over half a century.

We too are part of that "small parish" of cycling, as defined by one of the most brilliant and luminous journalistic signatures, never remembered enough, Mario Fossati. A "small parish" that meets and regenerates, that embraces without affectation and in its own way continues to love each other. How can you pack a life like ours into a few lines and give meaning to everything that has been, because everything doesn't fit, because this everything made of small things is, at least for us - and you can well understand it - too important? A life made of nuances, of painful and unforgettable moments, like the life of each of us. Here, our life that approaches, merges and blends with yours, which unites us, which regenerates together with you.

Sad moments, I was saying, made of serious losses, which are not defeats, but seeing those we loved, respected and cared for deeply fly away too soon. There are many, too many: from Fabio Casartelli to Marco Pantani to Michele Scarponi; from Marzio Marzorati to Fulvio Acquati, from Ugo De Rosa to Gino Sala, to whom I owe much more than I was able to return. How I miss Gianpaolo Ormezzano and Gianni Mura, with whom I would have wanted to celebrate our birthday, without forgetting those who allowed us to start, continue and go on, like Giorgio Squinzi and Adriana Spazzoli, who guaranteed us a serene and secure autonomy that made us free: even today we can benefit from the passion and closeness of the Mapei family, thanks to Veronica and Marco Squinzi, as well as that of Claudio Pecci with his Center. And I can say the same about Ennio Doris, with whom I shared pure passion for cycling: with him I fed on knowledge and work ethics. How can I say thank you to everyone, to all those who still wish us well: from Ernesto Colnago to Alcide Cerato, from Antonio Colombo to Giovanni Mazzola, from Alessia Piccolo to Federico Zecchetto, to arrive at Gaspare Lucchetta and the great Euromobil family. How can I convey our thanks full of gratitude? It's difficult, almost impossible. How can you pack thirty years of history into a few lines?

Perhaps the only way we have available is to continue our journey that then becomes a story, trying to look ahead, aware that a story is not erased, but simply updated and enriched as we have always done. We were the first to move from print to digital, from tuttoBICI to tuttobiciweb, which in over twenty years of history has made its way in the vast sea of information, becoming the reference site for world cycling. And the same with tuttobicitech, which made technique its creed and is growing year after year, just like our podcast, Blablabike, born among the clouds of a pandemic that confined us to house arrest and which today is one of the freest voices of a cycling that updates and renews itself. How many beautiful things we have done over the years with a team of young people who guarantee our future while respecting our history. Thanks to Giulia De Maio and Nicolò Vallone, Carlo Malvestio and Luca Galimberti, Francesca Monzone and Giorgia Monguzzi, Francesca Cazzaniga and Giorgio Perugini, Valerio Zeccato and Danilo Viganò, as well as Alessandro Brambilla, Federico Guido, Patrick Iannarelli and reference and talented signatures like Marco Pastonesi and Gian Paolo Porreca, without forgetting the memory of the shy Giuseppe Figini and Diego Murari, whom I put last because I know he would like it that way, also because he is Unique.

Thanks also to Enrico Ceriani and Marina Bello, our guardian angels, who do our accounts and on whom we have always counted. Without forgetting two pillars of our structure: Emanuela "Emy" La Torre, our dreamy creative and the joker who can do everything, because she knows how to do everything, and Emanuele "Lele" Santagostino, who is not in the odor of sanctity, but in terms of patience, he truly is.

I have never liked talking about ourselves and I made an effort to do so because it was right, they told me. At least a bit, Valeria, my wife, whispered to me, at least when necessary. And so I did. I thought it was right not so much for us, but especially for you, who chose us and accompany us month after month, week after week, day after day in this correspondence of loving senses. How can you condense everything into a single page? A book would be needed and perhaps another thirty years to tell them all, before telling another thirty and maybe even more.
