At the launch of the MAGNIFICO Exhibition, Andrea Tonti, with his friend Luca Paolini, both cyclists on the Italian National Cycling Team led by Franco Ballerini, visited the museum, with a group of Italian and foreign enthusiasts who took part in the Como Raid Bike organized by his tour operator Bike Division. On this occasion, to be sure that the National Team is always remembered at the Museum, Tonti, who is particularly fond of Ghisallo, the Sanctuary and the Museum, decided to donate a blue jersey as a sign of recognition to Fiorenzo Magni and the Foundation chaired by Antonio Molteni!
At the Ghisallo Museum, on the tenth anniversary of his last pro race, Andrea Tonti, related some anecdotes about his long career as a professional rider, the domestique de luxe of many champions. Among other things he said: Cycling on those roads is in itself a special feeling and a gift that a cyclist must do from time to time to strengthen his faith and … cycling. Entering the Sanctuary and the Museum is like renewing this act of faith and it is really, just as Magni wanted, to “feel at home”. Our mission with Bike Division is to create unforgettable experiences for those who travel, pedal, and participate in our tours and to be sure that a visit to the Museum will be the icing on the cake of this two-wheeled experience.
To promote his tour, Tonti invited all his loyal followers with this phrase that says it all: Did you know that sometimes angels pedal? On the roads of Lombardy, to the Sanctuary and to the Ghisallo Museum, for a charity dinner. Sometimes the angels pedal in heaven and on earth, forming a group with many, many horses to act as an escort. And they will be those of a Porsche (a special flagship). Sharing smiles and a beautiful desire to ride together …
