Spring is here and the desire for outdoor sports is bursting... to see and to do!
Like every year, the Milano-Torino race opens the season: the oldest professional cycling race in the world - first edition in 1876 - starts on 19 March from Rho and ends after 174km in front of the Basilica of Superga. After passing through Novara and Vercelli, the route reaches the final circuit: from San Mauro Torinese it runs along the Po river in Corso Casale, climbs up to the Basilica of Superga for the first time and descends on Rivodora with a challenging descent, which takes it back to San Mauro and then climbs up to the finish line with gradients of over 10%.
A new event is Turin Hills bikepacking, a ring cycle touring event in bikepacking format to be completed in two days (Saturday 22 and Sunday 23): it combines cycling adventure with the discovery of the Torino area and its small villages, architectural wonders and unexpected views. We'll start from the Fausto Coppi Velodrome and climb the hill to Cocconato d'Asti, our check-point for Saturday evening, where we'll have dinner and sleep.
Then, on Sunday 23, the Deejay Ten is back, an event promoted by Radio DeeJay with start and finish in Piazza Castello in Torino: the 10km race is open to anyone over 16, the 5km one to people of all ages and abilities; in Piazza Castello there will also be the Deejay Village, already open from Saturday 22.
