January Classics: Day 18


Today’s January Classic is JWOC Long distance 2009 in Italy. – Technically and physically very demanding – altitude about 2000 m, the tipster “fedebach” writes. In the men’s class, Gustav Bergman took the victory with a fantastic race. 1:05:55 was 6 minutes below the stipulated winning time.

You can read WorldofO’s story from this race here. The full map is available here. One might argue that there were not that many longer route choice legs on this course – but it still had its challenges.
