This is probably going to be a long one. The #CXWorldCup went to Italy this weekend to try out racing on snow. Was it a success? Is this the direction that the sport of cyclocross is headed, or will it be a one-off? #ValdiSole #CXcoursereviews 1/23
First: the venue is the small town of Vermiglio, at an altitude of 1200 metres on the slopes of the Passo del Tonale (of Giro fame) with just over a thousand inhabitants. It seems to exist mainly to serve cross country skiing. 2/23
The winter sports season hasn’t really started yet, so this was the ideal moment for a ski resort to host a CX race. It’s a town in a valley between 2 mountains, so there’s a small river, and a bit of flat land around it, which is where the race takes place. 3/23
