From May 10th onwards, the global cycling community will have the option to compete virtually across Italy – as PEDALITALY rolls out the Giro di Sera on ROUVY.
The new virtual multi-stage tour, taking place at the same time as this year’s Giro d’Italia, consists of five virtual races. Racing starts on May 10th with a virtual visit to Canelli via ROUVY. The Italian town in the province of Asti IS a UNESCO heritage site in the heart of the Monferrato Area.
The other stages will enable participants to discover OTHER cycling destinations in Italy such as the Brunello of Montalcino area in Tuscany, Passo Fedaia in the Dolomites, Abruzzo and the Italian Alps.
“With PEDALITALY Giro di Sera Spring Edition, fans around the world will have the unique opportunity to race from home but on the same roads and on the same days as the professionals when they battle it out in the first stage race of the season,” said Gabriele Mirra, Co-Founder and CEO of PEDALITALY.
