Seven days after the challenge of World Cup Chongming. And fourteen days before the new act of World Cup of Valladolid. Between Asia and the appointment of the Spanish World Cup reassembling the competitive challenge of the City of Cornaredo Grand Prix, scheduled in the Lombard town Sunday, May 22. Now in its third year, the race near Milan commissioned by Walter Zini and his Wes Bike Team, is to be interpreted as an immediate rematch of World Cup race dedicated to the wheels faster as a preview of Chongming and more "agitated" Iberian race of Valladolid. "In fact - says Walter Zini, who is coordinating the organizing committee - we plan a great date that will collect a broad consensus by the Italian and European teams. Being located so close in time between two races of the World Cup, after which the East will return to Europe, can only benefit our group in terms of participation and quality of racing at the start. " A sort of revenge after Chongming ready, scheduled Sunday, May 15. But even a tasty preview ahead of the Gran Premio Ciudad de Valladolid, which will be staged on Sunday, June 5. So it could be called the third edition of the Grand Prix City of Cornaredo, who has already received the patronage of the Lombardy Region and the full cooperation, including in the operational aspect, of the City of Cornaredo. The first witness to that effect comes from the valuable and fruitful work of the secretariat of the race Wes Bike Team, which is collecting extensive adhesions from sports teams. A very positive trend that could lead to a kind of historical "sold out" with the arrival in Cornaredo for most of the teams of the circus world of cycling women.

After Arndt (Girodonne), and Graus Leleivyte, the Grand Prix of Cornaredo awaits its new champion
In the beginning was the champion Judith Arndt to take up arms on the goal of Cornaredo. It was 2007 and was Girodonne stage on the outskirts of Milan hinterland. This stage continues with exciting plot twists. As long as it was Judith Arndt to anticipate the maneuvers in view of the sprint in compact ranks. He did it with a perfect shot by manual cycling that allowed her to gain a few meters in the immediate enemy. Little space that was enough to win the goal of Arndt in Cornaredo.
In 2008 he began the race of Cornaredo in itself with self-organization and enthusiasm to the stars. In a rather cold and rainy day to triumph in a tight sprint, was the Austrian Andrea Graus. Flag of the Austrian women's cycling, always at ease with cold temperatures, the Grauss put its seal affixed on the gold rush of Cornaredo.
The year 2010 is recent history but always compelling. Few months, the flight of the compact group rewarded the starting and winning the young Lithuanian Rasa Leleivyte, who put all his sprinter wheel. Behind the Leleivyte, a brilliant Rossella Callovi. In just over a month will be back real race on the streets of Cornaredo, who applaud the champions of cycling. Value and another athlete will be ready to conquer a goal that, year after year, gaining more and more prestige. Stage for sprinters, one of Cornaredo could also provide surprises in the final. As happened in 2007 with the victory of Arndt.
