  • Press Information
    2019 PRESS INFORMATION Mountains in the DNA: Tour of the Alps keeps pointing higher Restarting after a major success. The 2018 Tour of the Alps, concluded in Innsbruck six months ago with Frenchman Thibaut Pinot on the highest step of the podium has further established the race organized by GS Alto Garda among the standout fixtures of the international cycling calendar. A success in many different ways: participation, with a number of star contenders putting on a show in Tyrol, Südtirol and Trentino, audience (both on the roads and in front of a screen) and among the stakeholders. Now, it’s time for the organizers to take in the most demanding of challenges: repeating, and raising the bar. The first pedal stroke of the 2019 Tour of the Alps has been taken onWednesday November 21st in Milan, at the Sala Buzzati, institutional venue of RCS and La Gazzetta dello Sport: the presentation reaffirmed the ambitions of the Euro-regional stage race that took the baton from Giro del Trentino in 2017, whose 43rd edition will be held from April 22nd to 26th, 2019. Backing up the Tour of the Alps project is the stable alliance of Tyrol, Südtirol and Trentino, under the aegis of the Euregio, that has found a shiny and winning expression in the key dress rehearsal ahead of the Giro d’Italia. The upcoming Tour of the Alps will have another legacy to pick up: the one of the World Championships in Innsbruck, that took place in Tyrol in September, ending on the same finish line of 2018 Tour of the Alps’ stage 5.
