TV

Differently to the Giro della Toscana and the Coppa Sabatini, Eurosport hasn't purchased the TV rights to offer this race. There will be highlights on PMG Sport, at 5.15pm CEST on Saturday - that means that one who wants to avoid spoilers can wait for the late afternoon so they can watch it 'as live'.

Timetable

Social Media

This event is organized by Adriano Amici's @gsemilia; the most appropriate way to follow race updates, though, will be their own website.

Analysis

In their third, penultimate Italian stop prior to the World Championships, the Movistar Team will be visiting the Emilia-Romagna region to take part in the 15th edition of the race named by one of the most charismatic climbers in history. It’s not, though, really a race destined to be won by the lightest ones, yet still pretty demanding in its central section.

The route, nearly 200km in length, including two circuits -an opening one at Castrocaro Terme and a finishing one in Cesenatico, both flat- as well as a pretty tough, longer loop halfway through. Riders will have to climb to Montevecchio three times, the 4.5km ascent containing average slopes of 7%. The final ascent will be crested far from the finish, more than 60km before the end, which means that the fastest riders have a chance to bounce back and contest the win.
