Giro dell'Emilia LIVE
Bologna - San Luca 223.3 km (women 98.8 km)
The best finish in all of cycling, the beautiful climb up to the Basilica San Luca. Now again with a startlist that is on par with what the race deserves after a few rough years. The women race a simpler course which is basically pan flat and with one ascent up to the finish at San Luca. RAI are reportedly broadcasting 30 minute highlights of the women at 15:00 CET just before the men's race goes live.

Age and treachery to overcome youth and excuberance. This is Italy after all.
