The Giro della Sardegna, which returned to the race after 15 years, brought a professional cycling race back to the island, five years after the 2021 “ Italian Cycling Week on the Roads of Sardinia ”.
At the start of the first stage, from Castelsardo to Bosa , the longest of the five scheduled at 189 km, there was a large crowd and applause for the old glories Gianni Bugno and Claudio Chiappucci, as well as for the Sardinian hero Fabio Aru.
But there's also a Sardinian in the group , the debutant from San Vito, Ignazio Cireddu , from the Austrian Vorarlberg. He also shares the excitement of his first appearance on stage.
