GP Beghelli

The penultimate weekend of European racing for the Movistar Team will come to its close on Sunday 7th October with the 23rd edition of the GP Beghelli, an event which – just like the Giro dell’Emilia – is held in the province of Bologne, starting and finishing in Monteveglio – venue for the headquarters of the race’s sponsor, a lighting company – and including two circuits, the most notable around the Zappolino (10 laps).

Each of those final loops, 13.3km in length each – the race is held over a total 196.3 kilometers -, contains a 1.5km climb at 6% gradient. The continuous ups and downs will try to avoid a group sprint at the end – a scenario which is also less likely so late in the season.
