Paolo Guerciotti has crossed many finish lines: as a cyclist and cyclocross rider, as an entrepreneur (his company has celebrated 60 years of activity) and as a manager of prestigious cyclocross teams. The milestone he crosses today is a personal and important one, but just a stage finish because Paolo still has many things to say and do: today Paolo Guerciotti turns 80 years old.

An adventurous life (you can reread the long interview he gave to Pier Augusto Stagi for the Courageous Captains column) entirely dedicated to great cycling: in the company, where he will certainly spend today alongside his children Alessandro and Micaela, and on the racecourses, always driven by enthusiasm and boundless passion.

Happy birthday.
