Ultra Pirineu 2018
Set in the Spanish Pyrenees and taking in spectacular mountain scenery and historic villages, this 110km event is the longest race in the Skyrunner World Series, with 6800 metres of ascent to challenge the competitors. A lot of things have changed since the first edition in 2009 of Salomon Ultra Pirineu, but not the winner: Jessed Hernandez was crowned again in the medieval town of Bagà, that also witnessed the first ever victory of Ekaterina Mityaeva in the Skyrunner World Series.

L’Eroica 2018
L’Eroica draws its inspiration from classical cycling, from black and white images published on newspapers of the early 1900’s to the times of the Bartali and Coppi duel, to more recent times when pedal cages and shifters on the down tube where still the main option on road racing bikes. L’Eroica chose as a convention 1987 as the year to draw the line between classic cycling and modern times.
