57^ GIRO CICLISTICO VALLE D'AOSTA / MONT BLANC 2021: THE STAGES

The Giro Ciclistico Internazionale della Valle d'Aosta starts again! Although with the due caution that the period requires, but with the passion and enthusiasm that distinguish it, the Società Ciclistica Valdostana has defined the program of the historic stage race reserved for Under 23 athletes. The 57th edition of the Giro Ciclistico Internazionale della Valle d'Aosta, therefore, will be held from 16th to 18th July 2021. The debut of the race will be Friday 16th July with the fraction that will see the Municipality of Pollein as the starting and finishing point. On Saturday 17th July, however, it will be the turn of Valtournenche - Breuil Cervinia, while the grand finale will be the Fénis - Cogne stage, arriving in the heart of the Parco Nazionale del Gran Paradiso Sunday 18th July. The details of the stages are being defined, but it is already certain that the race will not lose its reputation as a race for true climbers, with fractions with strong characteristics and selective altitudes.

«We are happy to give a sign of hope and a fresh start! For the 2021 edition, given all the unknowns related to the current health emergency, it was prudently chosen to limit the number of stages to three, avoiding encroachments and concentrating the race only on the Aosta Valley territory.» - says the president of the organizing committee Riccardo Moret - «The organizational protocols of the UCI are stringent, but we look to the future with optimism. A dutiful thanks goes, as of now, to the Regione Autonoma Valle d'Aosta for its crucial support, to the Municipal Administrations and to all the sponsors who have agreed to support us, albeit in a difficult historical moment.»
