    You and all of us are still trying to work that out. See the other post that has been flying around the last few days

    But as Le Commentateur hints, patience maybe a virtue in this case

    OK, I've been in touch with people in Italy and unofficial word is that the sportive probably isn't going to happen, so beware of booking an overpriced package from a sports-holiday company.

    Apparently RCS prematurely closed entry to the Sanremo one earlier this year and then cancelled the Pinerolo "Etape" for the Giro, so it sounds like a loss of interest by the organisers, perhaps another consequence of the credit-crunch late last year.

    :( I hope this isn't the case. I've been looking forward to it.

    You seem to have assumed a little too much.

    The Granfondo that was due to run with the Giro d'Italia this year was cancelled as they could not get the road over the Col de Larche opened as there was a road closure notice issued on it previously, so not exactly RCS fault and not their choice either.
