Over 110 athletes from various regions of Italy are expected in Castelfiorentino on Sunday, 7 September for a cycling race called “3rd Coppa Città di Castelfiorentino – 3rd Trofeo Sportivi Il Bastione – 1st Coppa Sport Angels”, which will start at 2:00 p.m. near the ‘Il Bastione’ club (Via Verdi).
Organised by the “Sport Angels ASD” association with the patronage of the Municipality of Castelfiorentino, the race covers a total distance of 123 km, the first part of which takes place in the urban centre (an 8 km circuit to be covered five times) and the second part mainly in the suburbs and hamlets, such as Cambiano, Molino di Granaiolo, Castelnuovo d’Elsa, the Coiano junction, Via Praticelli, then continues along Via Machiavelli and, after passing the roundabout near Pesciola, the streets of the town centre (Via Battisti, Via Masini).
Sunday’s race will be contested by young riders in the Junior category (17/18 years old), the same category in which Francesco Matteoli from Castello achieved extraordinary success a few weeks ago at the World Championships, winning the gold medal in the team pursuit race.
