ReplyDeleteriding on some of the same routes as the race. We still have a few places available if you'd like to join us.
Damiano Cunego had a good stage yesterday (stage 2). It was a hilly finish and he was battling neck and neck till the last few meters. Lovely fir-covered mountains in the later part of the stage- very pretty.
