The cycling summer ahead of us recovers that longed-for normality of three years ago, with an agenda that does not skimp on events and competitions. A list of events that in Gobik The list of events is multiplied with the announced entry of the brand into new and powerful markets, which deserves significant efforts.
This was the case of the Nove Collia first-rate event in Italy, with more than half a century of history in the Romagna area, where Marco Pantani grew up as a cyclist, putting on the map a privileged area to enjoy cycling. Marco was a member of the Fausto Coppi Cycling Society, the organizer of a ride in which Gobik has put his heart and soul into it.
May: a Nove Colli record-breaking
We have made our debut at an event of this size in Italy and the result is very satisfactory," says Gino Dona, Brand manager at Gobik-. It's enough to say that names like Pantani and Coppi are the main attractions of the event to give us an idea of its size. It is a race that closes the roads up to two hours before the start, a sign of the quality assured to the participant".
But that's not all: "We serve the jersey to the 9000 participants who right now have taken the name of Gobik to their homes. In addition, the special edition has worked well, both at the fair and on the web. It has been very satisfying to see our brand on the road these days.
On the before and during Nove Collia couple of notes: Alberto Contador and Ivan Basso attended the fans at the stand of Gobik at the pre-event trade fair. At the same time, the brand took part in a solidarity initiative for childhood cancer research, in which some of the most important Italian cycling personalities took part such as Mario Cipollini and Davide Cassani.
June: between Alps, Pyrenees and Asturias
Let's remember that Gobik a few days ago, he was already in the Rally di Romagna.
Continuing with Italy, this June the Specialized circuit continues with a couple of very important gran fondos: that of the Mont Blanc (already held) and the Sestriere. On the first one, in the Coumayeur area, Gobik is also working as a sponsor of a ride that is expected to bring together 2,000 cyclists.
In France, the brand made its debut as a technical sponsor of the Gran Fondo Mont Ventouxwith 4,000 cyclists.
The central weekend of June took place the Three Nationsthe march that leaves and arrives in Puigcerdá after crossing Andorra and a corner of France, where the participants once again had their jersey with the emblem of Gobik.
The amateur would also have found the stand of Gobik at the fair of the mythical Quebrantahuesosfinally postponed due to the adverse weather conditions.
July: Dolomiti Superbikein the heart of Italian MTB
As with Nove Colli, Gobik will debut in the front line of Italian mountain biking with the Dolomiti Superbike. "Just as we talk about great references on the road, here we do it in mountain biking, we are facing a giant of the Italian calendar" suggests Gino.
The race takes place not far from the Austrian border, among breathtaking scenery, in the area of Cortina d' Ampezzo. It is 130 kilometers of pure MTB that attracts many bikers, especially from Austria and Italy. Gobik has programmed for the event a limited edition comprising vest, bib and socks. 3500 bikers are expected.
In the first weekend, deepening its collaboration with Octagon, organizer of the Pyrenean march, Gobik will return to the scene of the Bike Races with the Asturias version.
Also on the same date, but in France, comes the Châtel Chablais Léman Racewith about 2,500 participants expected. And the following weekend, the race Étape du Touron July 10.
On the weekend of July 17th, San Sebastian will experience its first Mussara. And we will close the month on the 23rd in Pamplona with The Indurain.
