2024 is gearing up to be an extraordinary year for Italy and the world of cycling. If you haven't heard yet, the Tour de France is making history by hosting its first three stages right here in Italy for the first time! Florence, Rimini, and Turin are about to witness an exhilarating spectacle that will undoubtedly become a part of cycling folklore.
Even if you can't be in Italy during the Tour, whenever you visit, you'll feel the enthusiasm and spirit of cycling that permeates everyday Italian life, especially in northern Italy!
When you think of Italy's northern regions, what comes to mind? Truffles and terroirs, right? Well, buckle up because there's more to this region than meets the eye. It's not just a gastronomic haven; it's a paradise for two-wheeled adventures.
