Chase the Giro 2026 with Annabelle and Jamie Drew

This will be a small group tour run by Annabelle and Jamie Drew. Staying at local and very regional family run accommodation. We will dine at some of our favourite and often frequented restaurants.

We commence this tour lakeside (Lago Iseo), a rest day in the Giro but a gentle warm up for us with a flat 66k ‘lap of lake’ to start. We then ride into the mountainous Italian pre Alpe region. Day 3, as we relocate, will be our first race viewing as the Giro heads Eastwards into the Dolomites, so do we. Staying at the next three nights in Arabba we will knock over the ‘Selle Ronde’, and finally ride the Passo Giau, viewing the riders on the ‘Cima Coppi’. Our next transition stage we are aiming for the Giro finish town of ‘Piancavallo’ although we will be on a different route with a substantial head start, in time to view the Piancavallo mountain top Saturday finish, certain to be decisive for the Maglia Rosa. As the (poor) pros travel all the way to Rome, we will make the most of the region we are in (Veneto) and ride our one last mountainous loop, just to knock the legs over but back in time to take in the final sprint on the telly.

Small, boutique tour (max 7) run for Topbike by experienced guides Annabelle & Jamie Drew.

Topbike has an exciting new tour, stemming from client requests.

Our September Italian Lakes tour starts at Como then heads Eastwards back towards our Italian base on Lago Iseo. The tour will be ‘Ride-in, Ride-out’ with rolling hills, some climbing but largely in the ‘not too hard category’. Having said that, as we are in the valley framed by mountains, there is always the option of adding extra climbing here and there, if that’s your thing. Lovely lakeside road cycling and superb Italian family-owned hotels and dinners, as is usual.
