Giro dell'Emilia
Giro dell'Emilia — iconic Italian one-day classic in Emilia-Romagna, held early October as a Lombardia warm-up. The race finishes with multiple ascents of the San Luca climb in Bologna — a steep punchy finish that produces dramatic late attacks. Climbers and puncheurs both contest the line.
