With three weeks to the event named “Remembering the Vuelta<\/strong>” to celebrate the 50th anniversary<\/strong> of Felice Gimondi<\/strong>‘s overall win at the Vuelta a Espana<\/strong>, G.M. Sport<\/strong> organizers decided to extend the registrations\u2019 deadline until race numbers are sold out. It is the final call for the late or forgetful amateur riders and for those who couldn\u2019t secure their presence at the event until the April 13th<\/strong> deadline.<\/p>\n \u201cAs we checked we still have a few places available<\/em> \u2013 organizer Giuseppe Manenti said \u2013 we decided to extend the registration’s deadline, to give as many friends as possible the opportunity to celebrate on Granfondos’ road the 50th anniversary of Gimondi’s triumph at the Vuelta<\/em>“.<\/p>\n As in 2017, the amateur riders will test their skills and ambitions on three different routes \u2013 short (89,4 km<\/strong>), medium (128,8 km<\/strong>) and long (162,1 km<\/strong>) \u2013 charted by Felice Gimondi. Also this year the participants will have the opportunity to choose which way to go for during the race, without having to bound to one route or another at the moment of the registration or at the start line. Safety is once again the key: thanks to 120 further additional signalling officers, back from a training course sponsored by the GF Gimondi Bianchi\u2019s OC, the Bergamo\u2019s race will line up 837 people to ensure the safety of the 4.000 riders awaited at the start.<\/p>\n
