Italian Ivan Martinelli fastest at the 2021 UCI Gran Fondo World Championships

2021 UCI Gran Fondo World Championship took place today in the Jahorina Mountains near Sarajevo in snow and freezing conditions

Italian Ivan Martinelli was fastest to at the 2021 UCI Gran Fondo World Championships and claimed the Men's 19-34 age Rainbow Jersey. The 31 year-old former professional raced for D'Amico - UM Tools team.

The UCI had already warned participants ahead of the race, "The weather predictions for the weekend are not good with rain showers announced for both days and low temperatures at the altitude on the finish. The organisation has decided in consultation with the head of jury and the UCI to limit the distance on both days skipping one mountain loop on both days."

Ironically, the race finished atop Jahorina in snow, the site of the 1984 Winter Olympics!
