Artist Mirko Dematt\u00e8 talks about the work that will be awarded to the winner in Krakow.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Once again it will be a work by the Trentino artist Mirko Dematt\u00e8 that will award the winner of the Tour de Pologne 2023. A real sculpture, this year with unique details to commemorate the 95th<\/sup><\/em> anniversary of the race, that will make its owner truly proud.<\/p>\n

In keeping with tradition, the shape of the trophy embodies continuity and the flow of energy through the road, the place of cycling par excellence. The base of the trophy is made of a stone covered with quartz, providing a brilliant appearance. Engraved above the base is the number ninety-five, with a rougher finish to reflect the competition’s long history.<\/p>\n

“This year’s trophy has a very important meaning<\/em>,” explained Dematt\u00e8. “That’s why I wanted to combine the elegance of the ribbon, pointing towards the sky, and the roughness of the stone, as happens in cycling. The red and white colours are a tribute not only to Poland, but also to the spirit of unity and the great media coverage that this competition has garnered over the years. The stone of the pedestal is raw, rough and conveys the experienced and wise face of the Tour de Pologne, which for ninety-five years has represented the history of an incredibly enterprising and spirited country”<\/em>.<\/p>\n
