RCS Sport and Shimano have renewed their agreement for neutral technical assistance in a number of prestigious cycling races including the Giro d’Italia and the other world-class cycling events organised by RCS Sport.
The service will be provided from the company’s technical service base in Milan. Shimano Italy’s commitment to offering neutral assistance in the race comes from the desire to ensure that all riders can safely and successfully compete in races even in the face of technical problems.
A team of mechanics deployed in cars and motorcycles will provide mobile assistance by following athletes on the road, while a team of mechanics located in specific points on the road will also provide technical support in the event of mechanical difficulties.
