The Italian Ice Sports Federation (FISG) will take center stage at the 24th Connection 24H of Feltre, set for June 12–13. This historic endurance cycling race is ready to welcome over 1,000 riders to its legendary ‘hellish circuit,’ a landmark event that draws athletes, fans, and spectators from across Italy every year.
A lineup of Italy’s elite speed skaters will take part in the event for this special occasion. They will bring the teamwork, endurance and determination of Italian ice sports to the roads of Feltre.
Competing for Team FISG are: Andrea Giovannini, Michele Malfatti, Davide Ghiotto, Manuel Ghiotto, Manuel De Carli, Daniele Di Stefano, Riccardo Lorello, Jeffrey Rosanelli, Francesco Betti, Alessio Trentini, Matteo Peghini and Mattia Leonardelli.
The participation of these national athletes – a group that brings together Olympic champions and rising stars – highlights the growing bond between different disciplines united by the core values of sport: hard work, teamwork and shared passion. Now established as one of the most iconic events on the Italian endurance scene, Feltre Connection’s 24 Hours offers the FISG athletes a unique opportunity to take on a new challenge far from the ice, but with the same unwavering focus on performance and teamwork.
“We are incredibly proud to welcome to the Connection 24H of Feltre athletes who gave so much to Italian sports at the recent Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics. We will welcome them with the unique warmth and passion that our city always shows on special occasions,” said Ivan Piol, President of the organizing committee.
The event will take place on Feltre’s stunning street circuit, specially transformed for the occasion into a vibrant sports arena. It promises a truly unique atmosphere, blending intense competition, entertainment, and passionate community support.
Once again, the athletes of the Italian Ice Sports Federation (FISG) are showing their commitment to promoting sports beyond elite competition, sharing their passion, enthusiasm, and experience with the public. This is especially true for cycling – a sport that has always been a core part of the national team’s training camps and daily routines as they prepare for the winter season.
