Kawasaki: 30 bikes for the Corsa Rosa

Kawasaki – The Giro d'Italia, after the much followed Dutch prologue, started again from Calabria. In front of the group the official Kawasakis. The Kawasaki Versys 650, flanked by other models from the Kawasaki range for a total of 30 bikes, is at the service of the organization and staff following the race.

The Versys shows off the best qualities of handling and comfort as well as high construction quality and robustness, fundamental characteristics for covering the almost 4.000 kilometers of the route. All the bikes have the same green and matt black livery with some pink details to make them immediately recognisable. "This year we didn't miss the opportunity to be "protagonists" in one of the most prestigious sporting events. Already from the first stages I can affirm that the partnership with the Giro d'Italia is certainly a winning one, with 184 countries connected to the Corsa Rosa, via 29 different television networks without counting the public on the streets who take to the streets every day to cheer on the cyclists and the high engagement on social networks, we are certain that Kawasaki will have excellent media exposure.” said Sergio Vicarelli, Kawasaki sales and marketing director.

The seventh stage of the 99th Giro d'Italia, the 211 kilometer Sulmona-Foligno, will take place tomorrow, Friday. Mixed section with a climb almost at the start (Le Svolte di Popoli) followed by just under 200 km on wide and in many cases straight roads. Worth noting are the usual road obstacles (roundabouts, speed bumps, traffic dividers) when passing through the main urban centers such as L'Aquila, Rieti, Terni, Spoleto. Completely downhill or flat finish until the last km, quite simple up to 2000 m at the finish where you face in rapid succession a right and two left bends which lead to the arrival road at 1300 m interrupted at 500 m by a slight semi-curve . Finish line on a 160m asphalt straight, 7m wide. Nacer Bouhanni was the last sprinter to win in Foligno in the 2014 Giro d'Italia, ahead of Giacomo Nizzolo and Luka Mezgec.
