Ahead of the race, we caught up with Lawson Craddock from EF Pro Cycling to ask him how his form has held over the hiatus.   “Nothing about this year is normal, and it’s been all about adapting to the current situation. I hope that the Tuscan heat plays to my advantage after training in Texas and Spain over the summer, but it’s always hard to put a finger on your form until you pin a number on your back. Regardless, I cannot wait to restart the season and race with the rest of the team.” [HEAR FROM THE PROS]( WOMEN'S 100 LINDSEY FRAINE A filmmaker based in London, Lindsey was diagnosed with endometriosis but does not let it stop her from riding or raising awareness about the disease.

Stalked by a crew of five from Rapha, and battling the elements day and night, Lachlan finished the ride in a little over a week. It felt like a lifetime has passed. The effort was extraordinary, and left a lasting impression on all of us who witnessed it. This is our behind-the-scenes look at the ultimate alternative calendar event last year [WATCH THE FILM]( AND FINALLY... To travel far, you need to pack light. In the age of carbon, tri-bars and energy gels, it’s easy to take modern innovations for granted in an attempt to lighten your load. Back when even the humble bottle cage was revolutionary, in their quest to shave a few grams, one intrepid adventurer might have taken it a step too far...
