It’s what we do and it’s in our name so we’re always on the lookout for new events to add to our line up of the best Sportives and Gran Fondos. Over the last few weeks we’ve been busy at Sportive breaks HQ with adding new Sportives to our programme.
You can already book for 2023 and for the extremely popular Big Six Sportives, the Five Monuments Sportives plus One Day Classics such as Strade Bianche, Gent-Wevelgem and Amstel Gold Race but we always like to add some new events.
In date order, find below some of the new events that have recently been added to our calendar.
