Flavio Parchitelli

I am a cyclist/racer with a passion for cycling for about 20 years. 
I met Mirko along the roads of the Lazio gran fondo and I immediately followed him in his adventure with the Gruppo Sportivo GFNY for the friendship that binds us and because I immediately shared his motivations. So, for the last three years I've been proudly wearing the GS GFNY outfit, whether it's for a gran fondo around the world or for guiding members of the sports group and guests to discover the most beautiful villages in Italy. 

Always ready to meet new friends from all over the world, I can't wait to get on my bike and discover new roads/trails.
