The Prize

Take home this Pink Jersey from Giro d'Italia 1996, won by Russian former cyclist Pavel Tonkov.

Tonkov has signed the jersey, making it unique.

Over the course of his career Tonkov racked up a total of 36 victories. He was one of Marco Pantani's rivals: his duels against the "Pirate" during the 1998 Giro d'Italia are unforgettable. In 1995 he won the Tour de Suisse and in 2000 he finished third in the Vuelta a España.

The Cause

BOF is an association based in Imola in the province of Bologna. Imola is known worldwide for its racetrack which has hosted international sporting events such as the Formula 1 Grand Prix or concerts of well-known musical groups / singers worldwide.

This year, in addition to what has just been described, the association also wants to support the "NeverGiveUp Memorial Nicola Ussia". This project was born in 2015 from the family's desire to remember the father Nicola, who died in 2009 from a heart attack. The aim of NeverGiveUp is to raise awareness about cardiovascular diseases prevention. Every year the association organizes a fundraising event. Thanks to the money collected during the event, 7 defibrillators were donated to local Sports Associations and Educational Institutes.

However, due to the CoronaVirus pandemic, the 6th NeverGiveUp Memorial Nicola Ussia will not be able to take place in June. Nonetheless, thanks to the support of the BOF Association, a new initiative was conceived: a charity auction of sports memorabilia whose proceeds will be destined for the "Spesa Solidale" and the purchase of a new defibrillator.
