There are passions that need no explanation. You simply recognize them because, year after year, they are always there. Just like the 9 "Loyal Ones" or "Regulars" of La Dario Acquaroli. They are 9 bikers who, since the first edition (2001), have always crossed the finish line of the competition and this Sunday, September 27th, have confirmed their presence on the starting grid for the 25th time in their lives.

They have been pedaling with us for 25 years. They have shared every moment of the event's history. They have shared starts, fatigue, sweat, smiles, heat, rain, emotions, and finishes. And above all, they have continued to be there, every year with the same inexhaustible desire and unchanged passion.

On the occasion of the event's tenth anniversary, from simple participants as they were, they became the "Loyal Ones," earning themselves a place in the front grid, a personalized number, but above all a most welcome "Thank you!" from the entire Organizing Committee.

Sunday, September 27th, 2026, on the occasion of the race's 25th anniversary, on the starting line, along with the applause of all the spectators, they will receive a Special Edition T-shirt (in the photo) dedicated to them and together they will pose for a group photo before the start. A moment strongly desired by the organization to capture an instant that tells 25 years of shared passion.

Here are the 9 Loyal Ones who will race at La Dario Acquaroli 2026:

1. Gianpaolo ABATI from Fara Gera d'Adda (Bg)

2. Alfio BETTONI from Costa Volpino (Bg)

3. Alessio CARULLO from Banchette (To)
