It will be a historic Nove Colli: Miguel Indurain also at the start

The Spanish champion will face the medium route of 130km

 

This year's Nove Colli will be a real gathering for cycling legends. After the announcement of Beppe Saronni's participation - for the first time registered for a Granfondo in his career - another star arrives in Cesenatico: Miguel Indurain, Enervit Ambassador, who on Sunday, May 21 is ready to attach his race bib to run the Nove Colli for the first time. The Spanish champion will face the 200km route and is undoubtedly the most successful cyclist in history to take part in the Granfondo: 2 Giri d'Italia, 5 consecutive Tour de France, World Champion in the time trial in 1995 in Duitama, Olympic Gold in the time trial in Atlanta 1996, and a career that made the history of modern cycling.

Indurain's participation is also a sentimental one, as he has always reiterated that he is very attached to the memory of Marco Pantani and that he will arrive in Cesenatico for the first time. It was 1994 and a young Marco Pantani was presenting himself to the world at the Tour de France while Miguelon was already one of the sport's greats. It has been a long time, but it doesn't seem like a day has passed.
