I have secured for Sunday a fabulous location to watch the Professional road race on the climb of Fiesole for a testing and twisting 16.6km finishing circuit that includes a 4km climb to Fiesole just outside Florence. My location is a small private residence off the main road and is located at the 3km point of the climb with 1km climb to go to the top of Fiseole, this is an ideal circuit for Froome or Wiggo….The race comes past here 10 times!!..here you will lunch and drinks with a number od private viewing locations (Well above the local tifosi) as seen from the pictures below all civilised stuff!
