For the first time, the Tour de France travels the roads of the Bel Paese: it crosses the regions that helped make cycling great in Italy, crossing mountains, pedaling through extraordinary landscapes and on routes surrounded by history, art and Italian charm.

On the first stage of the Grand Départ - Florence Rimini - the cities of art, literature and architecture will be touched upon, in a route that pays tribute to Gino Bartali, passing through the places that saw him become one of the great Masters of Italian cycling. It will then travel the scenic roads of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, also passing through the municipality of Novafeltria, until it reaches the beaches of the Adriatic Sea.

In anticipation of this important event, Novafeltria will pay homage to the Grand Depart with a conference featuring Davide Cassani and Dmitry Konysev in title:

"Me and the Tour - anecdotes and experiences of two champions."
