«I need to be myself
I can’t be no one else
I’m feeling supersonic
Give me gin and tonic».

– OASIS, Supersonic (1994)

Forty issues.
Alvento is now a splendid forty-something.
Still full of energy, but better at using it wisely.
No need to prove anything, yet always ready to step up.
It listens, chooses its words, notices the details that matter.
More confident now, but still asking questions.
It doesn’t chase trends — it follows its own path.
And if there are a few marks on the skin, it’s only because it’s lived.

Some contents:

• Giro d’Italia Women, episodes and stories from the roadside
• Mont Ventoux, the famous loner returns to the Tour de France.
• Filippo Conca’s beastly Sunday in which the Swatt Club won the Professionals tricolour.
• Between a desire for innovation, an eye to the future and roots firmly planted in a glorious past: Campagnolo presented Super Record 13.
• We pedalled the first four stages of the Vuelta 2025 that will start right in our land, in Piedmont.
• Solstice day, or rather crossing Italy at the widest point of the peninsula on the longest day of the year.
• Places like this do not exist: three days of Alpine gravel exploration up and down the Val di Fassa.
• We visited Van Rysel’s headquarters in Lille, the starting city of the Tour de France 2025, from which it takes its particular name.

  … and much more!
