The December 2024 issue 36 of alvento magazine.
The velodromes in Italy: a journey to the origins of our riders' successes on the track.
[alvento is a state of mind]

 

"There are many young people but after a certain age I don't see them anymore because their sports directors only want to get ahead, it seems that it's vital. I see young people who were strong on the track as juniors, then they didn't do it anymore because it seemed that they were going to have a great career on the road and instead after two years they stop"

Italy wins on the track, the movement is alive, the hour records are ours, both among men and women.
And yet a widespread belief survives that there are no velodromes in Italy.
And here we come into the picture, we are a bit strange, we like challenges.
So we sent Filippo Cauz to discover, one by one, all the active velodromes in Italy, or almost.
A job that lasted over a year and 3,800 kilometers of travel. A real investigation that will continue with audio content and a special section on the site. But what an intent, you can enjoy it on the December issue of alvento, along with the cover dedicated – coincidentally – to the world pursuit champion, Jonathan Milan.
Obviously, on the December issue of alvento 36 there is also everything else we have accustomed you to, but you will discover that for yourself.
