A challenge certainly interesting but also very demanding on the organizational, logistical and financial side.

I have accepted this, in every aspect, tempting challenge, being able to count on the same valid committee members who with great enthusiasm have once again made themselves available and are particularly proud to be able to collaborate in the setting up and running of this important cycling championship.

The Canton of Ticino and in particular Tesserete and Capriasca, Lugano and Ticino Cycling are certainly proud to welcome the planned biennial event. Their support will also be very important for the success of the event.

In the past, the participants of the various races have always been able to enthuse the audience.

The spectacle will once again be guaranteed for spectators from all over Europe and beyond.

Their joyful and inciting presence will animate the days of the different competitions.

The square of the former Military Barracks of Tesserete will be the center of the event, from where the different routes will start and where the race village will be set up.

The organization will involve an organizational commitment and a not indifferent financial burden.

I would like to thank the city of Lugano, the municipality of Capriasca, the institutions, the companies, the sponsors, the volunteers and all those who will support us, directly or indirectly.

To my colleagues of the committee a special thanks for their collaboration, availability, commitment and professionalism.

To all of you an invitation to participate and live these wonderful days of cycling, friendship, sport and fun.

Sergio Romaneschi

President of the Executive Committee
