Equipment and Bike Rental
Given the type of terrain (road and dirt) of the course, we advise against using a classic road or city bike with narrow, smooth tires. For your safety, we recommend using a bicycle with wide, slightly treaded tires. Examples include mountain bikes, trekking bikes, or gravel bikes. Both electric and muscle-powered bicycles are allowed. Additionally, remember to bring a helmet on race day, as it is mandatory for participation.
If you think you don't have the right bike or don't have a helmet, don't worry: you can rent them (for a fee) at the link below and they will be waiting for you at the Starting Village in Cremona!
But hurry, the number of rentals available is limited.
BICYCLES TRANSPORTATION
Do you have a bike to transport to Cremona and back? No problem! Also this year we have provided a bicycle transport service from Milan to Cremona so that you can reach the village in complete tranquility and find your bicycle ready for you on the morning of the race.
The service is chargeable (upon reaching the maximum number bikes) and includes the deposit; to use it you will have to deliver your bike to the race kit distribution point in Milan. Bicycles must be equipped with your front panel applied to the handlebar of the bicycle in order to be transported. The front panel will be delivered to you together with your race kit (you will find it inside the envelope together with the clamps that will be useful for applying it to the handlebar).
