On this day when we wandered around the town, there was a bicycle race in progress' the 2016 Giro d’Italia Femminile, or the Giro Rosa,
the only remaining women’s Grand Tour and the most prestigious stage race on the women’s calendar. The 9th and final stage passed through
Mergozzo while we were there. The gentleman in the lime green trousers was one of the officials, on his walkie-talkie, charged with keeping
onlookers at bay, I suspect!
