Livigno: great news for granfondo participants who will also be able to race on electric bikes. Appointment on 29 June.

Livigno, 18.06.2024 - The strong emotions of the Giro d'Italia 2024 are still fresh in the memory of all lovers of two wheels, with the queen stage that lit up the sky of Livigno and crowned Tadej Pogacar as the new icon in pink, and now cycling is already back in the spotlight in the summer of Little Tibet thanks to the Granfondo Alé la Merckx, a race with a historic and particularly inclusive flavour.

Time is running out to secure one's bib number, but online registration will remain open until 24 June, without the need to specify whether one wishes to tackle the medium or the long course, because the choice can be made definitively on Saturday 29 June, the date of the Granfondo Alé la Merckx. It will still be possible to complete the registration until the day before the race, directly in Livigno.

Great news of this 2024 edition: in the mediofondo, the medium version of the Granfondo Alé la Merckx, it will also be possible to tackle the route on an electric bike, to test oneself on the most iconic climbs and peaks of the resort, regardless of one's technical and physical level. A new and inclusive perspective that, while not allowing entry into the final classification, will allow all lovers of nature, sport and outdoor activities to feel part of a special day, admiring the magnificent Livigno landscapes and roads that have made the recent history of our cycling.

Riding the electric bikes, you will only be able to complete the shortest circuit: a magnificent 106-kilometre route with a total of 2050 metres of altitude difference, which ends on the scenic finish line of Mottolino, at an altitude of 2400 metres, the exact same finish as the protagonist of stage number 15 of the 107th Giro d'Italia. An unrepeatable opportunity to test oneself on one of the toughest sprints of the great pink race: an instant classic that made the eyes of all the fans in the world shine.

The main race, on the other hand, will be a good 166 kilometres, with over 4000 metres of altitude difference and some of the most difficult and important passes on the Italian cycling scene, such as Umbrail, Foscagno and Forcola: monuments of two wheels

Of great importance, finally, also the start of both routes, scheduled at the Aquagranda, the Olympic Preparation Centre of the resort, a real second home for many cycling champions and not only, who for decades choose Livigno in the path of approach to major international commitments. A gem in the panorama of Little Tibet, a hub of the sporting life of the resort and, especially in this period, a reference point for many athletes who are completing their preparation for the Paris 2024 Games.

Also for this reason, in view of the Granfondo Alé la Merckx, the exclusive Race-Relax promo is particularly attractive, combining registration to the gran fondo and entrance to the Aquagranda wellness centre at a special price.
