UK italia 2026
2026 saw Chase The Sun Italia riders joned by a very special guest – the 5x Tour de France champion Miguel Indurain! It was his first time tackling the coast to coast route – a sunrise to sunset time trial unique even in his famous career!
The weather this mid-summer’s day was uncompromisingly HOT! Temperatures over 40degree in the shade tested even the most acclimatised cyclists, so an even more remarakble achievement for those who travelled to Italy for the challenge !
210 riders started, 210 finishers reaching the coast, and of these 185 arriving in time to see the sunset over the mediterrenean sea… Congratulations to all you cyclists who took on the heat to Chase The Sun Italia in 2026!
Grazie mille – to our local Italian organisational partner Turbolento for hosting, event sponsor ENERVIT , and of course to Miguel for riding with us and greeting the riders at sunset!
