- 0:58con il giornalista Marco Barsotti. Di cosa parliamo
- 1:01oggi? Oggi parliamo della 6 giorni. La chiamavano
- 1:04Americanata. And it was, in the best sense of
- 1:06the word. The 6 Days of Milan was a total show,
- 1:09very long and articulated, at a time when in
- 1:11the houses of the Italians there were only white
- 1:13and black televisions regularly connected to
- 1:16the transformer. It was called the 6 Days of
- 1:18Milan. Not that it was the only one, there were
- 1:20six days in most of Europe, numerous in Germany
- 1:23alone. The Italian one took place in Milan, at
- 1:25the Palasport of Piazza Sei Febbraio, also called
- 1:27Padiglione 3, inside the Fieristico district,
- 1:30before moving to the unfortunate Palazzone di
- 1:33San Siro. The six days represented a unique format
- 1:50in professional cycling. The participants were
- 1:53confined inside the velodrome for the entire
- 1:55duration of the event, typically a week. This
- 1:57forced the runners not only to compete on the
- 2:00track, but also to conduct their daily routine
- 2:03in the same environment. including meals and
- 2:05rest, with completely different hours than the
- 2:08norm. The public was divided into two categories.
- 2:10The proletarians, we use this word as relevant
- 2:12to the time, but in reality it also included
- 2:14the lower middle class, who could afford to enter
- 2:17the public tribune, placed above the track, and
- 2:20the bourgeois, upper middle class, among which
- 2:22there were also some bosses who were in the middle
- 2:24of the track, in the restaurant living area.
- 2:33days of cycling marathon it is said that the
- 2:35typical day of athletes started with the wake
- 2:37up around noon followed by a breakfast and massage
- 2:40sessions to prepare the muscles for the imminent
- 2:42fatigue the races properly said were divided
- 2:45into sessions such as the afternoon one until
- 2:47about 6 p .m. followed by the night one that
- 2:50was broadcast until 2 p .m. they were part of
- 2:52the six days prestigious names of world cycling
- 2:55such as moses francesco moses 1951 bitossi franco
- 2:59bitossi of 1940 and merckx eduardo Louis Joseph
- 3:03Merckx of 1945. They said that the corridors
- 3:06were practically segregated inside the velodromes.
- 3:10Fortunately, with the passage of time and for
- 3:12reasons mostly logistical, the corridors were
- 3:15allowed to be housed in nearby hotels. Supposed
- 3:18to prolonged efforts, athletes sometimes got
- 3:20injured. No fear, the regulation provided for
- 3:23the strange concept of neutralization. It was
- 3:26not a surgical operation on athletes, similar
- 3:29to those that are operated on cats shortly after.
- 3:31but of the possibility for themselves to stay
- 3:34still up to 36 hours conserved in their own personal
- 3:37scoring one of the most fun moments was when
- 3:40the runners put themselves in the French sur
- 3:43place on the spot in this situation two or more
- 3:46competitors were still in balance without being
- 3:48able to put their feet on the ground and without
- 3:50doing anything the goal was to surprise the opponent
- 3:53with a lightning start it is useless to say that
- 3:55for the spectators the hope was that one of the
- 3:57two or maybe both fell ruinously daniele biondi
- 4:00but It was not just a series of races, but a
- 4:20global show. Between one race and another, there
- 4:22were new performances of singers, concerts and
- 4:25entertainment shows of a different nature. All
- 4:28this, often announced by the then popular representative
- 4:30daniele piombi and that it was not audible as
- 4:34soon as he took the word he started in a series
- 4:36of whistles and screams so strong to completely
- 4:38submerge the voices the whistles did not have
- 4:41a political motivation as perhaps it would have
- 4:43been possible at the time or an antipathy to
- 4:46the person rather it was a sort of glee by the
- 4:49way quite funny the sponsor of the successful

- 5:04but repeated many times in the context of the
- 5:06same day and not enough. At the center of the
- 5:08race ring was the restaurant area. It was for
