The last week of racing for Cervélo TestTeam’s second and last season has begun. The team will make their final appearance at the Giro del Piemonte, Giro di Lombardia and the time trial competition Chrono des Nations.

On October 14 the Giro del Piemonte, a semi-classic held in the Apennine Mountains in Italy, will take place with a strong team on the start line. In the race, which was first run in 1906, the Cervélo TestTeam squad, including newly crowned World Champion Thor Hushovd (NOR), is ready to put in a great performance over the 194 km from Cossato to Cherasco.

Just two days later, one of the monuments of the European cycling calendar and the last event in the UCI World Calendar is on the schedule – the Giro di Lombardia. The first edition was held in 1905 under the name Milan – Milan. It gained its current name 1907 and this year’s edition will start in back in Milano and finish in Como.

Finally, on October 17, Alexander Wetterhall (SWE) and Patricia Schwager (SUI) are ready to tackle the challenge of the traditional time trial competition Chrono des Nations in Les Herbier (FRA).
