Alberto Cirio, President of the Piedmont Region, Paolo Bongioanni, Councillor for Sport of the Piedmont Region, Marco Gabusi, Councillor for Transport of the Piedmont Region: “From the start in Asti to the finish in Bra, the 110th edition of GranPiemonte runs through an extraordinary area: the UNESCO World Heritage vineyard hills of Langhe, Roero and Monferrato, among the most celebrated landscapes that represent Piedmont to the world. Events such as GranPiemonte have the ability to combine a major sporting event, with all its passion and competitive value, with the promotion of our region’s outstanding landscapes, history and food and wine traditions, while involving local communities, businesses, associations, enthusiasts and residents.”
Paolo Bellino, CEO and General Manager of RCS Sports & Events: “One hundred and ten editions are testament to the value of an event that is part of cycling history. It is an important anniversary in a very special year for RCS Sport, which in 2026 celebrated the 150th edition of Milano-Torino and is also preparing to stage the 120th edition of Il Lombardia. GranPiemonte perfectly represents our vision of an event: a major sporting competition capable of showcasing and promoting a territory, while bringing together fans, institutions, partners and the media. Above all, public engagement, starting with schools, is the key to the success of these events. This year we will cross the Langhe, Monferrato and Roero, iconic areas rich in culture and culinary traditions, and through our television distribution we will bring images of these symbolic Piedmont landscapes to audiences around the world”.
Luca Guercilena, Chief Operating Officer & Cycling Director of RCS Sports & Events: “GranPiemonte is a race with an extraordinary history that continues to reinvent itself edition after edition. The route from Asti to Bra crosses a territory of great value and offers a finale that can deliver excitement and unpredictability. We are also particularly proud of the event’s international dimension, with the presence of 15 UCI WorldTeams confirming its prestige. Our goal is to continue growing GranPiemonte, as we do with all our races, while preserving its identity and its strong connection with the territory. Thanks to its terrain, Piedmont is particularly suited to cycling, and its roads are ideal for teams that enjoy training and racing in this area“.
Mariano Rabino, President of the Langhe Monferrato Roero Tourism Board: “We are particularly pleased to welcome GranPiemonte to our territory, a major event on the international cycling calendar which, on 8 October, will link Asti and Bra, passing through Alba and crossing an area of extraordinary beauty such as Langhe, Monferrato and Roero,” said President Mariano Rabino. “Major sporting events represent an important tool for us in terms of promotion and visibility, capable of bringing our territory to the attention of a broad international audience while also generating positive economic and tourism benefits for the local area. Sport, in this sense, is a genuine driver of promotion: it creates opportunities for people to come together, strengthens the destination’s appeal and helps showcase the identity and uniqueness of our hills through a tangible experience. We are therefore proud to support and accompany an event that helps strengthen the positioning of our territory as a destination capable of hosting major events and turning them into opportunities for promotion and development. With the same enthusiasm, we are also working with RCS on a major project for 2028: a Giro d’Italia stage through the UNESCO territories.”
Maurizio Rasero, Mayor of Asti, and Riccardo Origlia, Councillor for Tourism of the Municipality of Asti: “We are particularly proud that Asti has been chosen as the starting point of GranPiemonte, a race whose roots date back to 1906, when it was still known as Giro del Piemonte. And there is a special connection with our city: the first edition was won by a rider from Asti, Giovanni Gerbi, the famous ‘Diavolo Rosso’. Today, more than a century later, cycling is once again starting from Asti, offering a great opportunity to showcase and promote our territory through sport. It is an event that allows us to tell the story, alongside the competition itself, of the beauty of our hills, landscapes and local excellence.”
Giovanni Fogliato, Mayor of Bra, and Francesco Matera, Councillor for Sport of the Municipality of Bra: “Hosting the finish of a major international cycling classic highlights our city’s leading role, as Bra has always been deeply connected to the values of passion and cycling culture. This event represents an extraordinary opportunity to showcase our outstanding landscapes, history and food and wine traditions to a global audience. Cycling brings communities together and tells wonderful stories: we cannot wait to write a new chapter of sport and community participation together.”
Crédit Agricole Italia: “At Crédit Agricole Italia, we are proud to once again support GranPiemonte, a race that authentically showcases the beauty and richness of the Piedmont region. For us, cycling is more than a sport: it is a vehicle for shared values such as inclusion, environmental awareness and closeness to people, as well as a privileged tool for promoting local areas and supporting local economies. As a bank with deep local roots, we strongly believe in the power of initiatives like this to create tangible opportunities that benefit communities.”
