Gran Fondo Giro d’Italia to be Held on Queen Stage of Corsa Rosa 2015

 

Registrations are now open for the Gran Fondo Giro d’Italia Mortirolo, held on Sunday May 17th 2015 from Pinzolo to Aprica on the same course the pro riders will face ten days later.

 
The Gran Fondo Giro d’Italia will be held on Sunday May 17th 2015 over the route of the Corsa Rosa’s Queen Stage – from Pinzolo to Aprica – and will feature the same climbs, the same descents, the same hairpins and the same distance that will test the pro riders just a few days later, in what is one of the most keenly awaited stages of the 2015 Giro d’Italia.
 
Gran Fondo Giro d’Italia will have two courses: a long route that will cover entirely the whole 175 km of the Pinzolo to Aprica stage, facing the climbs of Campo Carlo Magno, Passo del Tonale, Aprica, Mortirolo before the final climb towards Aprica; and a medium route, which will end after 102 km on the first passage in Aprica.
 
The legendary and arduous Mortirolo below 13km at an average grade of over 10%, Lance Armstrong called it "the hardest climb" he'd ever done!
