1% – a point of difference. Rome wasn’t built in a day, they say, and the Planet certainly wasn’t either. 1% seems like a minor figure, but we’d like to argue just 1% can make a major difference to the outcome, from here to eternity.
ROULER
Il Giro dell'Ichnusa. Sophie Gateau explores Sardinia, the second largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, which boasts landscapes of breath-taking beauty. The legend goes that the island was imprinted by the giant foot of a Greek god; the Greeks may have started that one but it’s easy to imagine when you look at the map.

CDC GT : The Rift. The Rift is an unmissable event on the Gravel calendar with a course offering volcanic landscapes, and a highly unique terrain. There’s nothing else in the universe quite like it, especially not for Annabel Fisher who rode to victory in the 200km.
CARAVAN
Michele Boscacci and Alba di Silvestro: Passo dello Stelvio. Passo dello Stelvio’s switchbacks are to the road rider, professional or amateur, mythically charged, intimidating yet alluring, devilishly tough yet heaven-scented.

Tour de France '22: La Petite Boucle. Already into the second week of the Tour de France and the collective enthusiasm for the ‘Grande Boucle’ never seemed stronger. Taking advantage of the riders' rest day in Morzine, we launched the invitation for our ‘Petite Boucle’ that would follow a good part of the route of the next day's stage 10.

Another Tour : Morzine, July '22. The Tour is life. From the northern cobblestones to the Alps, the Pyrénées to the Champs Élysées. Every dog has its day. The highs and lows, the mountains and the valleys, on and on they race.
CARAVAN
Caravan : Michele Boscacci. Alongside skiing, my other passion has been MTB and now road riding. I use riding my bike as pre-season training and I train with Alba a lot on the bike; it allows us to spend time together and have fun whilst still ‘working’ at our own pace.
