Eddie Dunbar is getting ideal preparation for the Worlds with Team Sky. He's back in action again tomorrow.
Having already raced twice last weekend with his new employers, Eddie Dunbar is back in action tomorrow for Team Sky.
The 22-year-old will line out for his WorldTour team in Giro della Toscana-Memorial Alfredo Martini (1.1).
At 199km, the race is run mainly on three laps of a circuit passing through the finish area in Pontedera.
And the short sharp climb of Monte Serra is tackled each time; a ramp that should suit Dunbar.
The final passage of the climb comes about 30km from the finish. It may be instrumental in deciding who is still in contention for the finale.
Dunbar will be in a Team Sky line-up tomorrow that includes stagiaires Mark Donovan and Ethan Hayter; both from Britain and both aged 19 years.
