Special guest

With over two hundred professional victories, Francesco Moser remains the Italian cyclist with the most wins — third overall worldwide. In 1984, he rewrote cycling history by breaking the Hour Record with 51.151 km. A figure that has become legendary, so much so that it gave its name to his Trento DOC: the Moser 51.151.

The Sheriff will be a guest at the Hotel Dory for a special week: cycling together through the Romagna countryside, anecdotes and memories of an unparalleled career, photos, autographs and a toast with his wine. What is it like to cycle alongside a legend? We’ll find out together.

Giro d’Italia 1984 — the year of the Hour Record. A season impossible to forget.

Moser 51.151 — Trento DOC
