The Tour de Suisse Stage Organizing Committee for Piuro proposes an unmissable event for cycling enthusiasts and beyond. On Tuesday, June 17th, on the eve of the anticipated stage with finish in Piuro, Chiavenna will host a special evening dedicated to the great names of Italian cycling.

It will be a unique opportunity to meet some of the most significant protagonists of this sport, learn about success stories, and discuss the values that cycling transmits. The event is scheduled for 8:45 PM in the Council Hall of the Chiavenna Municipality.

Among the notable guests: Luca Guercilena, team manager of the World Tour Lidl-Trek team, fresh from a brilliant Giro d'Italia with six stage victories and the conquest of the cyclamen jersey; Marco Velo, technical commissioner of the Italian women's road national team; and Alessandro Vanotti, former professional cyclist.

During the evening, Guercilena will present his book "From Zero to One", a personal and engaging narrative that traces the stages of his career up to leading one of the most competitive teams in the international panorama, with champions like Giulio Ciccone, Jonathan Milan, and Elisa Balsamo, former world champion.

The meeting will be hosted by Pietro Illarietti, with organizational support from the Valchiavenna Tourist Consortium. Sports journalists specialized in cycling will also be present, ready to stimulate a rich and passionate debate.

Filippo Pighetti, director of the Valchiavenna Tourist Consortium, commented: "The evening of June 17th dedicated to the presentation of Luca Guercilena's book represents a precious opportunity to celebrate not only the great protagonists of cycling, but also the values that this sport embodies: commitment, vision, and growth. It's a way to bring the community and enthusiasts closer to the Tour de Suisse stage the following day, enriching the collective experience with a moment of reflection and inspiration. Valchiavenna thus confirms itself as a land of sport, culture, and hospitality."

An event not to be missed to experience the atmosphere of the great race and deepen the profound connection between this territory and high-level cycling.
