PRESSTOPP: Bäckstedt kör igen!! Ok, ett lopp i England, men ändock med på UCI lista av sanktionerade lopp. Se vad http://www.roadcyclinguk.com/ skriver om hans "come back"
- A former winner of the Paris-Roubaix classic, Magnus Backstedt, has confirmed that he will make a return from retirement to ride the East Midlands' International CiCLE Classic on Sunday, April 26.
The Paris-Roubaix is the world's most famous one-day classic ride and Backstedt, the 2004 winner, will compete in the United Kingdom's only UCI-ranked international one-day event with his newly created Team Cyclesport.se/Magnus Maximus Coffee.com. Backstedt recently set up the team - comprising seven Swedes and one Brit - who are looking to transfer from the elite amateur ranks to professional cycling.
The CiCLE Classic route features narrow farm tracks reminiscent of those found in the spring Classic races in northern France and Belgium. Riders will have to race over 15 kilometres of rough roads, including two tough ascents of the Somerberg climb. The final stretch of 800-metre gravel road comes just two miles from the finish.
