“Despite what you might think cycling is a team sport, as in any team sport you only win with the support of the whole team and being a team also outside the competitions is equally important.”

In addition to having several rental branches in cities along the event’s route, Mollo was also had stands set up at the ‘Open Villages’ at the start and finish of each stage of the race, where its hosted customers, suppliers and partners.

“We wanted to associate our brand to safety, a topic which has always been paramount for us,” said Mollo. “Safety is very important for those who deal with the rental of vehicles and equipment, as it must be for those who use the machines.”
