3,175 cyclists tackle UCI Gran Fondo World Championships in Italy

Cyclists from around the world took part in the biggest UCI Gran Fondo Championships around the beautiful lakes near Varese, Italy

With fully closed roads, the course was immersed in shaded forests, through quiet villages which culminates on a finishing climb up into the town of Varese, making it an ideal course for the GranFondo World Championships.

There were two courses, a Medio Fondo for women over 50 and men over 60 that was 105 km with 1,450m of climbing.

The Gran Fondo, for all younger age groups was 130 km long course with 1,950m of climbing.

The courses included timed climbs of Alpe de Tedesco, Bosco Valtravaglia and Bardello.

The race saw around 500 riders start the Medio Fondo, with around 2,000 setting off afterwards in the Gran Fondo.

The Gran Fondo started at a furious pace at 32mph with top riders spitting the peloton up fairly earlly on, average speed was over 18.4mph with some punchy climbs!

Italy’s Tommaso Electric won the 130km feature road race of the UCI Gran Fondo World Championship in Varese, Italy.

Electric completed the race in 3:24:35, beating Belgium’s Niels Merckx and Remi Cara by four seconds.
