Great course

What a great course , in a fantastic location with a beautiful panorama of Frienze. I have ridden the hill up to Feisole & didnt think it was that hard .. but then, I was going slow, and only had a hour of riding in the legs !! The bottom can be big ringed.

Have stayed at the campground in Fiesole, which is walking distance to the course & the standard tourist spots.. Blue bar etc.

wow the proposed course looks promising. Similar to geelong but harder.

16km laps.

main climb roughly 3.5km long. Maybe 220-225m of climbing.

Looking at something like 6-7% average.
But the steepest section looks like it goes for at 1.0 to 1.2km with a healthy 11-12% . Be pretty tough.

Then downhill for maybe 4-5km. And back up a little incline. maybe 5-6ish% also. Followed by another 5km to the end.

WOuld be a hard one to call.

lol nicely done.



How come this one? and you already know 2 years out. You want to see more Worlds races or you going to be in Florence then, or you going to tour italy?

I very much wanted to go next year, but alas my last year of uni, and I really don't wanna defer for another year (considering I already wasted a couple of years with work before going to uni again).

The plan is a trip to europe (probably head up in july) spend some time in the homeland, travel around europe a bit. Hopefully catch a few races (maybe I check out the vuelta too, one of the MTF would be great). Going to check out italy anyway (never been), so I figured I'd wait for the world champs. :)
