Cycling congestion

19/3/2015

Next week and for the very first time Corsica will host two pro cycle races in the same week. The first edition of the Classica Corsica and the 84th edition of the Criterium International. The Classica one day stage race has high hopes of achieving 'classic' status and is on the 26 March. This is the Crit's sixth consecutive start on Corsica so it has history and form. This year's three stage race will run over the usual format on the weekend of 28-29 March.
I've been disappointed to note that some of the major teams such as Sky and BMC have been giving Corsica a miss. But take a look at the racing calendar and who can blame them - it's very congested.  At the same time as these two events the following are also taking place: E3 Harelbeke; Volta a Catalunya, Gent-Wevelgem and, the Settimana Coppi e Bartali! 
I haven't yet found any TV coverage for the Classica but Eurosport will be live on the afternoon of Sunday the 29th for what is always a picturesque and usually exciting conclusion on the way up to Ospedale.

Looks like we've been crossing paths and not meeting, my wife Kirsten and I are planning to be in Calvi end of July till mid August. We were in Bastia at the finish around 200 meters from the line, in Corte stage 2 and about 800 from the KOM at the Calvi stage. Maybe we can do a ride, I have done most of those in Balagne, they're my favorites
