I was just wondering if anyone else has entered this sportive on the 5th june 2011 as i cannot seem to find any other competitors? Also how would you train for it? Thanks

    Will be there, not sure what to expect for it because it's a distance event, not a climbing event. Maybe some derny pacing...? The pack out of Milan are legendary: 40-50 kph in a group of 50-100 on non-closed roads, I'm not looking forward to it - I hope it's not Hillingdon on steroids. Never done an Italian sportive either but I know they do have some riders of nuts abilities, they have actual pro-sportive clubs where riders (ex-dopers you could say) are paid to ride sportives for sponsors. Frigo springs to mind.

    So derny pacing to train and cover yourself in bubblewrap at the start. I wish signed up for the tour of Lombardy instead... :-(
