"The Nove Colli is the oldest Granfondo in the world and it seems perfect to me that this spot is broadcast during the big classics, especially Liège-Bastogne-Liège, which is known by fans as La Doyenne, or the dean of cycling races," said Andrea Agostini, President of Fausto Coppi. 

"It is a bond that makes us proud and the segment will be charming for the whole city. Our race is a tough course made up of short and steep climbs that is very reminiscent of those of the Ardennes Classics and I believe that this combination is therefore significant. The promotion of the territory is a fundamental component for our race and I am happy with the collaboration and support of Visit Romagna and the Municipality of Cesenatico."
