GF Matildica offers third last qualifier option for the 2025 UCI Gran Fondo World Championships

The Italian qualifier event taking place in Reggio Emilia (Emilia Romagna) this weekend has 800 riders from 20 different countries at the start.  With the World Championships taking place in 7 weeks, it’s one of the last options to qualify for riders keen on attempting to grab the rainbow jersey.

The course through the Apennine Mountains is challenging with its 2150m of elevation and 153km distance and counts as qualifier for all men and women under the age of 50.

Older riders have a shorter 126km mediofondo with 1450m of elevation.  The mountains in both distances are in the middle section of the course.
