The peleton will cover 560km and climb more than 7,000 metres on their journey from Bologna in Italy's Emilia-Romagna region to the country's capital, Rome
The route will take the riders through the rolling hills of Tuscany and Umbria, before descending into Lazio and the historic centre of the Eternal City.

‘We are absolutely delighted to have 44 cyclists taking on an incredible challenge to raise funds for our local charity.
Their commitment and determination not only demonstrates their physical strength - but also their unwavering support for our mission to support local people affected by cancer.
A heartfelt thank you from all of us at Macmillan Jersey." - Steph Gibaut, Chief Executive Officer of Macmillan Jersey.
The ride is sponsored and supported by Investec, Walkers and Fiduchi, with logistical support from Fungi Delecti.
