This is a follow-up to a publication on this site on January 24th, an article titled "Tour d'antan - those two Marcels sitting on the bike's handlebars" which prompted the well-known photographer Remo Mosna, from Aldeno in Trentino, at the foot of Monte Bondone on the Val d'Adige side, to propose the image published here.

Remo Mosna, with considerable passion and consistency, has followed professional cycling by motorcycle for decades, with an eye, or rather a lens, focused on the many Trentino cyclists from the golden years of the Moser dynasty to the present day.

The photo taken at the Bassano del Grappa velodrome during the Six Days at the Rino Marcante Velodrome with a 400-meter cement track, portrays Allocchio, then with a slender physique and curls enclosed in a Danish helmet, at the border between the rest area and the soccer field, sitting on his bike's handlebars.

Behind him, slightly blurred by the night setting, Claudio Golinelli can be glimpsed, a colleague, primarily a track cyclist, and Stefano Allocchio's friend. Both can boast significant achievements in various specialties, both on the road and on the track, as documented by cycling yearbooks, well-known to enthusiasts.

Now Stefano Allocchio, long-time race director of the Giro d'Italia and all races organized by Gazzetta dello Sport, after completing the operations and procedures related to gathering, transfer, and related phases of his role, can sit, with much greater comfort and space, inside the race management's lead car and then emerge from the roof with his torso exposed during the heated phases of the competition with, alas, the remaining "curls" in the wind.
