Grand Tour countdown
No, not that one
Hello lovely subscribers and welcome to Women’s Cycling Weekly! 🚴♀️
While all the talk in the cycling world atm is about some race that’s about to start over in Florence, there’s another one happening in Italy very soon…it’s just over a week until the Giro! The first iteration of the race that will be run by men’s Giro organisers, RCS. I wrote my full thoughts on all that in this week’s paid newsletter but the signs are positive so far, even if the start list is still pretty sparse. More details next week when things are clearer and the race is closer.
P.s I’m still not over AvdB returning!
Enjoy the newsletter,
