Starting May 10th, the global cycling community will be competing virtually on ‘beautiful, real-life‘ courses across Italy on ROUVY for the Giro di Sera racing series. The course segments are the same and are on the same days as the first Grand Tour of the season. Those who can’t visit Italy in May for the bike trip are welcome to ride these routes from the best Italian races from home.
‘Great virtual racing experience, enabling athletes to ride the iconic cycling locations or the next real-life event from home, is the core of ROUVY’s augmented cycling reality platform. Exciting and immersive routes, terrific views and great prizes from partners promise a lot of racing fun for riders of any level in these virtual journeys around the world.’
This time, the exclusive Italian partner of ROUVY, PEDALITALY, takes athletes on a virtual multi-stage Tour with 5 races in Italy. These 5 racing days will test cyclists, on climbing, tactical and time trial skills, and on both long and short routes.
“Join the PEDALITALY GIRO DI SERA and enjoy the atmosphere of the pink grand tour. And of course, plan to come one day to Italy in person to experience the magnificence of the mountainous and panoramic Italian landscapes,” invites Gabriele Mirra, Head of PEDALITALY.
