Remembering Wouter Weylandt
Those that ride on the stretch of road between San Siro Foce and Borgonovo will encounter a small but significant memory to the young Belgian cyclist Wouter Weylandt who lost his life in this year's edition of the Giro d'Italia.
The sculptor, Luigi Santini, used a slab of sandstone from the quarries of Carniglia to carve Weylandt descending the tortuous turns. The dedication: "To Wouter with the affection of all".
The artist, with the consent of the mayor of Mezzanego, Danilo Repetto, was moved to create this plaque as a way of saying that Wouter Weylandt is not and will not be forgotten.

Bandcycle
Bandcycle is a documentary of two cyclists who set out across the country to explore the local music scene in towns from coast to coast.
After having a run-in with the CIA, getting hit by a car, and getting lost in the first few days, we knew it was going to be an interesting ten weeks.
