the asian said:I think the teams which ride MSR will get invited.
search said:this is not possible as strade bianchi is 1.1 race and therefor only 50% of the teams are allowed to be pro tour

unluckily the wt categories are not something you earn... they're something you pay for.the asian said:Forgot about it
IMO it deserves 1.HC.
Really, the best example is probably Colorado being 2.HC in its first year. Sometimes I wonder if the UCI knows the meaning of HCEshnar said:unluckily the wt categories are not something you earn... they're something you pay for.
Cult Classics said:Has this race shifted back to Saturday? Not heard anything about it but I notice the bar at the top of the Gazzetta page has changed from saying 3 March to 2 March.

MSR is updated to Sunday so they have been monitoring it. Nothing about Lazio either way.
Saturday is more sensible really as it won't need to share TV time with Paris-Nice.

It's a shame indeed, EBH was 4th in his first attempt here back in 2009 when he was 21. But he's never had the chance to ride it again.Pippo_San said:A pity there's no Sky...I would've liked to see EBH and The Tank Engine race... Well **** it it'll still be one of the best of 2013 for sure.
I take it Sky didn't just ask for an invitation...Pippo_San said:A pity there's no Sky...I would've liked to see EBH and The Tank Engine race... Well **** it it'll still be one of the best of 2013 for sure.

Like UCI rules count somethingsearch said:do you know if the race has been upgraded to 1.HC? It's still listed as 1.1 on the website of the uci but they would not be allowed to invite more that 50% pro tour teams if it's 1.1
