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.
