5° trofeo emozione
Trofeo Emozione 2025: a travel in the heart of the Friuli-Venezia Giulia
The fifth edition of the Trofeo Emozione, an event that celebrates the passion for cycling and the discovery of the territory, will start on April 26, 2025, from the picturesque “Piazza Umberto I” in Vivaro. The name of the town itself, "vivaio", evokes the image of a fertile land where new talents are cultivated, just as our association strives to do.
A route through history and flavours
The 136-kilometer race will take us to discover the beauties of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, crossing municipalities rich in history and traditions: Vivaro, Arba, Sequals, Travesio, Castelnuovo del Friuli, Pinzano, San Daniele, Spilimbergo, Rauscedo, Fiume Veneto, Azzano Decimo, Chions, Pasiano, and finally Pordenone. These locations evoke history, culture, and unique flavours.
Pedalling through vineyards, hills, and medieval villages, you will taste the essence of Friuli.
Following in the footsteps of a champion
The route will also pass through the roads where Ottavio Bottecchia, the first Italian to win the “Tour de France”, trained and where he met his tragic end. This year marks the centenary of this legendary feat, and we pay tribute to a champion who made history in cycling.
An epic finish in Pordenone
The finish is expected in Pordenone, in Piazza XX Settembre, where the cyclists will be welcomed by a warm and enthusiastic crowd.
Challenge and adventure. To make the race even moto thrilling, we have added about 10 kilometres of dirt road. These technical sections will test the skills of the participants and make the result even more uncertain.
An unforgettable experience
The Trofeo Emozione is much more than just a cycling race; it is an opportunity to discover the beauty of our territory, challenge oneself, and share the passion for the sport with other enthusiasts.
