For the second year in row, Vittoria will be at the side of the BGY Airport Granfondo: a union aimed at enhancing amateur cycling in its own territory, that of Bergamo, where the passion for cycling is handed down from generation to generation.
This year Vittoria will also support the home granfondo as a supplier of mechanical assistance through its Servizio Corse, a team of expert mechanics involved in numerous cycling competitions around the world.
At the BGY Airport Granfondo, the Servizio Corse Vittoria will provide assistance with 3 cars, equipped with Vittoria Corsa PRO bike wheels, and at 1 fixed point along the route.
That's not all: Vittoria supports you before and after the race! Did you know that if you arrive by plane in Bergamo to take part in the BGY Airport Granfondo you can take advantage of a free-of-charge support service at the airport, provided by Servizio Corse Vittoria, where you can reassemble your bike together with Vittoria’s staff, as well as deposit and pick up your bike bag?
A very useful and exclusive service made possible by the long-term collaboration between Vittoria and Milan Bergamo Airport (BGY), Europe's first bike-friendly airport. The BGY Bike Office is a service that is always operational and that, thanks to the exclusive collaboration with the BGY Airport Granfondo, becomes a special opportunity for many enthusiasts who will fly to Bergamo, coming from different cities in Italy and around the world, to participate in the prestigious amateur cycling event, which this year will take place on Sunday 5 May 2024.
