Cesenatico prepares to welcome, on Saturday, September 13th, a new edition of the Marco Pantani Memorial, the race that every year celebrates the memory of the "Pirate" by bringing great cycling back to the roads where he grew up, trained, and dreamed.

Organized by the Emilia Sports Group, under the direction of the Panathlon Club Cesena, chaired by Dionigio Dionigi, the event confirms itself as one of the most heartfelt appointments in the Italian and international calendar, also thanks to the fundamental support of Sidermec by Pino Buda, always linked to Pantani's figure and close to the world of two wheels.

Start and finish will be in Cesenatico, in the heart of Romagna, while the route, deeply renewed, will be announced in the coming weeks. The course, as per tradition, will combine spectacle and selectivity, crossing symbolic places and offering an ideal scenario for a race fought and uncertain until the end.

On the sporting front, the level promises to be extremely high: 25 teams are in fact registered, including UCI WorldTeams, Professional and Continental teams ready to battle in an event that also represents an important stage in the journey towards the end of the season.
