Ciao Ermanno,
With you, a piece of mountain biking history has left us. We remember you among those pioneers who, armed with great passion for off-road cycling and riding the very first mountain bikes, rediscovered the high trails of the Susa and Chisone valleys, giving us the beauty of pedaling in our mountains: you were the creator of our story, first with the Tour dell’Assietta and now with the Assietta Legend. But your memory goes beyond that: you were a beacon for all of us, and your experience and the advice you gave us have always been invaluable. We will remember you by our side in organizing the races, amid a thousand challenges and many satisfactions, doing the things closest to our hearts, where there will always be a space for you! We will miss you, Ermanno. We will strive to be worthy of your legacy and remember you in the race, dedicated to you.
