Classic or not a Classic?
Monte Paschi Eroica
This will be the 3rd running of this Race tomorrow. What other race of the Pro level runs on gravel roads? The race will cover 190km in total but 57km will be on the Strade Bianche of the area. Some sections up to 13km of the white gravel. It has all of the feeling of the Hell of the North, but gravel sections instead of the Pave. This Race evolved from a cycling event that had participants wearing or riding at least one item form the glory days of cycling. Woolen get ups, turn of the century bikes, old team replicas, and sipping Chianti at the rest stops were the order of the day. This is in my mind is an instant Classic. Only true hard men of cycling survive to win this race, 2007-Alexandr Kolobnev and 2008- Fabian Cancellara
Will this be Three in a row for team CSC?
