Gran Fondo Giro d’Italia to be Held on Queen Stage of Corsa Rosa 2015
On Sunday 17th May the Gran Fondo Giro d’Italia will be held on the road from Pinzolo to Aprica, on the same course the riders will face ten days later, featuring epic climbs that make up the history of Giro d’Italia. Registrations open in December.
Milan, 18th November 2014 – Giro d’Italia is preparing a present for cycling fans, to put under the Christmas tree, with registrations to enter the Gran Fondo Giro d’Italia opening in December. The ride is open to aficionados and active cyclists that would like to challenge themselves and the pros on the “pink roads” and will be held on Sunday the 17th May.
The Gran Fondo Giro d’Italia will be held on the route of the Corsa Rosa’s Queen Stage – from Pinzolo to Aprica – and will run over the same climbs, the same descents, the same hairpins and the same distance that will test the pro riders days later, in what is one of the most keenly awaited days of the 2015 Giro d’Italia.
Gran Fondo Giro d’Italia will have two courses: a long route that will cover entirely the whole 175 km of the Pinzolo to Aprica stage, facing the climbs of Campo Carlo Magno, Passo del Tonale, Aprica, Mortirolo before the final climb towards Aprica; and a medium route, which will end after 102 km on the first passage in Aprica.
