Pro racing today seems to be visiting places where I've happy riding memories. Enjoying Tirreno racing up to Loreto, I did an early season Gran Fondo here almost 20 years ago where the whole event was blessed by a priest before the start and we thought we'd got lucky as the organisers put our small group of English riders in the VIP pen at the start. The event started, we turned the first corner at the front and there was a huge peloton racing away ahead of us, full of riders who'd snuck out the starting pens and got a head start!
The Giro Rosa is finishing in Assisi, have happy memories of riding there too.
