The Italian cycling title Alvento takes a people-centric approach to the sport by celebrating those who have ‘chosen bikes as a means of expressing themselves.’ As for the name? It's Italian for ‘in the wind,’ its many uses in cycling (and everyday) chat outlined on the final page of the magazine. Previously published exclusively in Italian, this 39th issue is their third edition aiming to ‘go a bit further’ by publishing in English. With their content—profiling cyclists, covering races, and sharing two-wheeled journeys from around the world—the magazine aims to remain firmly Italian, with this international version translating all the same features from the original Italian edition. In this issue: The Alvento team interviews some of the standouts riders that took part in the Giro d’Italia Women, including the legendary Elisa Longo Borghini (two-time winner of the race), Sarah Gigante, Lorena Wiebes. Their stories delve into the emotion, the beauty and the unpredictability of racing, highlighting deeply human aspects, such as suffering and pain that portray the great charisma of these female champions: a celebration of cycling and the pride of being a woman. Plus, Mario Intra tells us a story about nostalgia and tomato sauce alvento.cc
