On Saturday, November 11, the closing ceremony of the Zero Wind Show 2023 circuit was held in Desenzano del Garda. After a long season, the enthusiasm of the athletes remained high to the last and it is the fun together with the passion for this fantastic sport that makes the ZWS not only a competition but a way to get all together, create bonds and friendships.

The first to speak was Stefano Medioli, who greeted the athletes saying, “Being here today for us is a reason of honor. Desenzano is talking more and more about cycling. These are important occasions. This year in addition to the Colnago and Zero Wind Show, there will be a stage of the Giro d'Italia, the result of a whole year's work. Thanks to all those present, we will work more and more to ensure that Desenzano del Garda will always be a city suitable for sports activities.”; Nicolò Ferrarese followed: ”Confirming the partnership with Zero Wind Show pleases us very much. This connection has allowed us to get closer to the people who use in our products. I thank Tazio, his team and the organization because for us Zero Wind Show is a boost of energy and that is what we want to keep doing”; Alberto Povolo: ”We, as a company, started almost timidly behind giants, we have grown so much. Today, what is developing more and more is lightweight clothing that can facilitate the activities of you athletes. I thank you very much for what you do.”; Emiliano Borgna: ”I think there is a change going on in the world of cycling, and in this I have to give kudos to those like Tazio who understood this a long time ago. Something different was needed. Just thinking about these award ceremonies: it is a time to celebrate one's champions. We, as ACSI, are involved in amateur sports, our champions are you and you gratify us by attending events. We welcome moments like this, they serve to tell your stories.”
