PTP - Eroica

afx237vi

Races coming thick and fast over the next week or so. Paris-Nice on Sunday, Tirreno-Adriatico next Wednesdey, but first up on Saturday is l'Eroica... or the Montepaschi Strade Bianche as it now seems to be known.

190 km from Gaiole in Chianti to Siena, including 57.2 km over the rough "sterrati" roads of Tuscany.

I'll have Pozzato, Filippo please. Was tempted to go for Lovkvist for the double but worried I'd look like a Sky fanboy after opting for EBH last week
