A cycling school named after the great pistard Vanni Pettenellagold medal in speed at the Tokyo Olympics in 1964 and then director of Vigorelli and master of the new generations of “obsessed” in his laboratory in Via della Sempliicità. A federal school which, from the «Vigo» ring, will extend to the road up to Monte Stella to teach, especially to children aged 3 to 18, the secrets of cycling and to refine the fundamentals of cycling. Training and “lessons” with qualified instructors, different based on age groups, who will propose targeted games and exercises with the aim of teaching fundamental technical gestures on two wheels such as cornering, braking, starting and to explain the rules of Traffic Laws. «Our goal is to revive the legacy of “Fausto Coppi” School– explain the managers of the Vigorelli Velodrome Committee– which was active here from the early 1960s until the late 1970s. The school will first of all offer the course which will be held alternately between the Vigorelli Velodrome and Monte Stella to develop all-round skills, on the track, on the road and off the road as well as theoretical cycling lessons”. Among the various courses there will also be those dedicated to adult amateurs who want to approach track cycling in a safe place where they can train continuously: lessons both for those who have never cycled on the track and who will need to familiarize themselves with fixed gear and non-gear bikes. brakes and with the parabolics of Vigo but also for those who are a little more experienced and want to improve and discover the various specialties of the track. And so, thanks also to the cycling school, after many years this temple of the bike returns to being what it was, a meeting space for those who play sports, for those who want to train, for teams, enthusiasts and above all for the kids who find here a safe place to ride. «Velodromes have always been the training places of excellence for cyclists, where you can cycle with great fun and in complete safety – explain the organizers – and this school is actually a new beginning for us. After the first experiences of recent months and the good feedback received, we are proposing a new series of lessons on a track where great champions have accomplished memorable feats. New this year is the advanced course aimed at members which includes a period of theoretical and practical training, support on the track by a certified instructor, organized training sessions, timed tests and race simulations. It is dedicated to those who have already attended a course from previous sessions or have excellent technical ability to ride the bike on the track, certified by testing with our federal instructors”. The courses will begin at the end of September and there is the possibility of signing up for those who do not have a team and, for those who do not have a track bike, to rent one at the velodrome.
