The race:
The "Per sempre Alfredo" bicycle race was first run in 2021 to commemorate the the 100th anniversary of the the birth of racer and cycling coach Alfredo Martini, who passed away in 2014.
Martini raced professionally from 1941 to 1957, winning the 1947 Giro dell'Appennino and the 1950 Giro del Piemonte.
As a coach, he managed Ferretti (1969 - 1972, Sammontana (1973-1974) & the Italian National Team (1975 - 1997).
While managing the Italian National team he guided riders to world road championships 6 times: 1977 (Francesco Moser), 1982 (Giuseppe Saronni), 1986 (Moreno Argentin), 1988 (Maurizio Fondriest), 1991, 1992 (Gianni Bugno).
The Per sempre Alfredo race is organized by GS Emilia, which also puts on the Settimana Internazionale Coppi e Bartali and the Giro dell'Emilia.
