The race in the shadow of Vesuvius

Naples came out on the wheel of the Giro today. But perhaps it is better to say that today the Giro came out on the wheel of Naples . 15-5-23: the Giro d'Italia is in town. They made us a social campaign, really spot on. On the other hand, everything that happens in Naples has been successful for a few years, a trend born, more or less, even since the Giro started from here, in 2013. After yesterday's half-storm, beautiful sunshine. It was very comfortable in the shadow of Vesuvius on the e-roads of the Giro-E Enel X-Way . Parterre of great occasions, as always happens in big cities.

It was one of the most fascinating stages of this fifth edition and it did not disappoint.

Challenging stage for the professionals, who covered 162 kilometers today. Cleverly, the Giro-E director Roberto Salvador opted to enter the final part of the pro stage, among other things the most beautiful part: the whole Gulf, from Sorrento to central Naples. 55 kilometers of scenic-sentimental lust: the electric cyclists rejoiced.

A few ripples in the elevation profile, inevitable on the coasts, resulted in a positive difference in altitude of 350 metres: nothing much, also because, surrounded by the Great Beauty of the Gulf, they could have been double that and would not have felt the same. Perfect finish line: long and wide straight. The best place to experience the thrill of the sprint and feel a little like Jonathan Milan.

Today Sorrento welcomed the electric cyclists of the Giro-E engaged in stage number 6. They had little time to visit it, which is why they will have to come back, because Sorrento is, quite simply, a magical place.
