At 9 p.m., the race kicks off, and the adrenaline is immediate. Both cyclists and fans are enveloped in an atmosphere that's a mix of tension and joy. As night approaches, we enter what is perhaps the most fascinating part of the race for several reasons. Firstly, the colors and lights illuminating the course make it even more beautiful and magical. Additionally, the night certainly doesn't make you sweat like the scorching sun does during the day, at least when it isn't raining. Furthermore, nighttime is often when some teams start to fall behind the leaders, and the group of front-runners who will compete until the very last second begins to form. Last but not least, racing around a 1.8 km circuit in front of huge crowds against former professional riders like Paolo Bettini, Daniele Bennati, Valerio Agnoli, Daniel Oss, and Matteo Montaguti, is always a unique thrill, and it's even more special at night.
