Unfortunately, I can't do such a race of my own home area. Well, I could, just that the race would be pan-flat.Libertine Seguros said:Very interested to see how this one goes, since it's an idea I've tried to flesh out a couple of times.
Also, Asturiano, I saw your GP Ciudad de Gijón linked on APM recently, very nice little race, most of the climbs short enough that it's not a pure climber's race but with nearly 40 of them, that's going to break some legs.
Libertine Seguros said:There is a one-day race between these two former Yugoslav capitals. It is rated 1.2 and is invariably won by Slovenes, usually from the Adria Mobil squad. It alternates which direction it travels; it appears either not to have been held or to have lost UCI status this year; last year's race was from Zagreb to Ljubljana and was won by Marko Kump in a sprint.
