The 2025 season continues to heat up, and after the excitement of the “Gran Fondo Bassa Valdichiana,” I’m preparing for an international event: the UEC BMX European Cup Rounds 1 & 2, which will be held at the fabulous AGSM AIM BMX Olympic Arena in Verona (VR), adjacent to the Marcantonio Bentegodi Stadium, from March 28th to 30th, 2025.
This event represents a step up in level, leading me to narrate the feats of athletes from all over Europe and beyond, in an adrenaline-pumping and spectacular discipline like BMX Racing, which, as we remember, has been in the Olympic program since 2008. As a Speaker, I will have the task of conveying the energy and passion of this competition, engaging the audience and celebrating the riders’ performances.
This article continues the story of my professional journey on mauro.rent, in the “La cabina di regia” Blog, my space dedicated to Audio, Lights, Events, and Speaking.

1.1 Verona, International Stage for BMX!
Verona, city of art and sport, is preparing to host one of the most important events on the European BMX calendar. The modern BMX facility, the AGSM AIM BMX Olympic Arena Verona, inaugurated in September 2013, has hosted numerous international races over the years. The track, located in a strategic position, will offer a technical and spectacular course, ideal for hosting a competition of this level. Since 2017, the facility has been a regular stop on the UEC BMX European Cup. In 2016 and 2024, Team BMX Verona organized the European Championship, and in 2021 it was also a stage of the UCI BMX Racing World Cup.
Beyond sports, Verona offers a unique cultural and tourist experience. Known as “The city of Romeo and Juliet,” it is among the 10 most visited Italian cities. Just 30 km from Lake Garda, Monte Baldo, and the Lessinia Natural Park, the city enchants with its historical treasures, elegant cafes, and ancient taverns. A testament to a glorious past, its monuments and atmosphere earned it UNESCO World Heritage status in 2000.
