Since ever the month of July is the month of major events and of the most exciting competitions among the world of two wheels. In France, the 98th edition of the Grande Boucle, the Tour de France, celebrates with a distance of 3471 km a long history of Men, Streets, Dreams and Fatigue. In Italy the "Giro Donne," gives us a view of the "fairer sex" which never ceases to amaze both the audience and the experts for the number of participants, performances and passion shown regarding bike racing: a rapidly expanding market in which Miche is an active partner and supporter of female athletes and of those teams involved in this important event of the women's cycling.

But it is with competitions like the 25th "Maratona des Dolomites" that cycling becomes a big "Entertainment", a unique show seen around the world with the beautiful setting of the "Dolomiti". This is the incredible Marathon of the records (28,000 requests to participate received by the organizers - 10,000 the participants) it is a real feast of the Bicycle world, a feast for the Bicycle world, for a "Dream Without Frontiers", where cyclists from around the world, in an amazing absolute silent that characterizes these mountains, will have as only team-mates, their bicycle and its components selected to fullfill the task and goals of passing Campolongo, Pordoi, Sella, Gardena and then Giau, Falzarego, Valparola passo.
