The Cyclist's Profession: A Journey Through the Group's Words and Atmospheres

You can see one of them in the late afternoon, when you turn on the television and the race heats up. She struggles, so much so, even though everything seems simple to her. She wins, oh yes, she wins. In 2025, she repeated her success in the Giro d'Italia Women the previous year. In 2024, she repeated, nine years later, her victory in the Ronde van Vlaanderen. Champion-like performance, even if she shuns the label. The other, you can see in the early hours of the live television broadcast, when she carries the group on her shoulders and leads them for a ride. She struggles, so much so. She asks nothing for her own glory, for her own name; she is at the service of others, helping them win, standing by them when they're sick and need to save their own skin. At the service, available. A man of hard, determined, concrete work. They are both cyclists: they share their profession and their daily lives. Elisa Longo Borghini and Jacopo Mosca, professionals for UAE Team Adq and Lidl Trek, will talk to us about racing, teamwork, hard work, suffering, joy, and laughter, but also about sharing, values, study, and sport—a combination that can and must go together. Excellence, of course, but also commitment, passion, and professionalism. Because, as they told us, it's important to race, it's important to do well in any job, but it's also nice to discuss, share, listen, and learn.
Stefano Zago, co-artistic director of the Cuneo Bike Festival, will be in conversation with Elisa Longo Borghini and Jacopo Mosca.
