The only qualifier event in New Zealand last week attracted more than 1000 riders under a bright sun for the second edition of their UCI qualifier.
The tropical weather at the 2017 Tour de Bintan last weekend didn’t spoil the enjoyment for the thousand riders set out with the aim of qualifying for the UCI Gran Fondo World Championships.
The Forrest Grape Ride is New Zealand’s second biggest cycling event and number one on the South Island with a 101km circuit through some of the most stunning scenery New Zealand has to offer.
After a three months break, the UCI Gran Fondo World Series will start again on the tropical island of Bintan in Indonesia for its next round of qualifiers towards the World Championships in Albi, France in August.
After the very successful UWCT Final in Aalborg and Hobro in 2015, the UCI Gran Fondo World Series are coming back with a break of one year to Denmark with a new Danish qualifier in Holbaek. The city is situated on the Danish island of Seeland, one hour west of the capital city of Copenhagen.
