Another cracking race promo vid as RCS Sport showcases Italy's top races (+ video)

From Strade Bianche to Lombardia via Rome, Tirreno-Adriatico, Sanremo and the Giro

'Tis the season for race promo vids... yesterday, as ASO issued its cracking trailer for this year's Tour de France, Giro d'Italia organisers RCS Sport put out a video showcasing all six of its races this season, three of which are held over the next week or so.

It's not quite in chronological order - Sunday's Roma Maxima precedes Saturday's Strade Bianche in the film - but that's only a minor quibble.

Add in some great footage of Tirenno-Adriatico, Milan-Sanremo, the Giro d'Italia and the Giro di Lombardia, fantastic scenery, assorted random facts - see the picture above - and a suitably epic soundtrack (Divenire by Ludovico Einaudi), and it's a winner.

Simon joined road.cc as news editor in 2009 and is now the site’s community editor, acting as a link between the team producing the content and our readers. A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.

I'd hate to be the intern they sent to count the 4 billion specks of dust on the Strade Bianche corsa, or the 120 billion rain drops that fell during last year's Giro de Lombardia.
