Round 2 of the new 2023 Italia Bike Cup takes place this weekend in Albenga. After hosting multiple races over the years Albenga takes the big stages as it’s a UCI C1 race which means lots of points are up for grabs! We see big riders take the start line in search of a preseason race to asses fitness & dial in bike set ups.
