«Just in the year in which the Aosta Valley plays the prestigious role of the European Region of Sport, our race proposes five stages all scheduled on the territory of the Aosta Valley.» - said the president of the Società Ciclistica Valdostana Riccardo Moret - «Nevertheless, our international vocation is certainly not lacking and the synergies with France, Switzerland and neighbouring Piedmont are already certain for the next editions. However, we would like to underline that this result has been achieved thanks to the great support and enthusiasm of the Municipalities and the Region of Valle d'Aosta, as a testimony to the deep sports and tourism vocation of our entire territory.»
