"Blue Day" in Albinatico. Provincial championships for beginners and students

Sunday, May 11 will be a day with youth cycling on the Alfredo Martini cycle track in Albinatico di Ponte Buggianese.

The races organized following the cancellation of those planned in Cintolese, are valid for the assignment of the three provincial titles of Pistoia, and are held thanks to the collaboration of the Provincial Committee chaired by Alessandro Becherucci and the youth societies of the province, so much so that the name of the event is Trofeo Società Pistoiesi (Pistoia Society Trophy), and each of the three races will remember the enthusiasts involved in the work mentioned above.
