The Castelli equipped, Italian National Road Team, with the Italian ‘Commissario Tecnico’, Paolo Bettini, had the occasion to visit for the first time the course of the UCI Road World Championships where this year’s titles will be awarded.
Thanks to the support of the Paolo Bettini and Gabriele Balducci, Castelli had the oppotunity to do a couple of laps with the Italian team on the challenging circuit.
The road race course is one of the hardest for many years, and will provide some spectacular racing. There will be a form of “natural selection” in the final phases. It will not be enough to have strong individuals: there will have to be a united team, one able to collaborate well.
The Elite men covers a total distance of 272.5km, with more than 3000m of climbing, as much as in a mountain stage at one of the Grand Tours. The total distance during the 10 circuits around Florence in the Elite men’s race add up to 58.6km of climbing or 30% of the distance covered on the circuit.
The road race championships will be held in Florence, Italy, between September 22-29, 2013.

Thank you Jason. Your presentation gave us a taste of what can be done to extend our classrooms into the broader, more modern world. I hope we can have more sessions for multimodal assignments and some more hands-on workshops to help us apply these ideas.
I think Flip Burger is really cool, but SO overpriced. Their burgers are half the size of a place like Johnny Rockets and cost twice as much. However, the restaurant atmosphere and their unique menu is really cool.
Never forget that 2 identical ‘suped up’ bikes will run so vastly different nearly no comparison can ever be made. Most of these machines are a far cry from an exact science. If they were we would all be screwed. Or jet-engine mechanics.
