Classic Cycle Races
The classic cycle races are the most prestigious one-day professional road cycling races in the international calendar. Some of these events date back to the 19th century. They are normally held at roughly the same time each year. The five most revered races are often described as the cycling monuments. For the 2005 to 2007 seasons, some classics formed part of the UCI ProTour run by the Union Cycliste Internationale. This event series also included various stage races including the Tour de France, Giro d'Italia, Vuelta a España, Paris–Nice, and the Critérium du Dauphiné Libéré. The UCI ProTour replaced the UCI Road World Cup series (1989–2004) which contained only one-day races. Many of the classics, and all the Grand Tours, were not part of the UCI ProTour for the 2008 season because of disputes between the UCI and the ASO, which organizes the Tour de France and several other major races. Since 2009, many classic cycle races are part of the UCI World Tour. Probl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Fiorelli
Fiorelli is a fashion brand. The venture did not gain momentum until the large accessory company Oroton acquired the brand name. In 1988 Fiorelli Standard City Equipment was launched with a black and silver handbag collection aimed at the 15- to 25-year-old market, establishing the Fiorelli brand name within a niche market. Due to the brand's overwhelming success in Australia, Oroton saw fit to expand into Europe, specifically targeting the UK. Fiorelli was first launched in the UK in 1990, with the present owners of the brand, The Lunan Group, taking over in 1995. The team at the Lunan Group, headed up by brothers Stuart and David Lunan saw the potential to re-invent the brand by broadening its appeal in the UK market. Along with handbags, Fiorelli makes luggage, belts, small leather goods and sunglasses. The brand has nine standalone stores in the UK including Bluewater, Canary Wharf & East Midlands, and operates a thriving wholesale business to some of Great Britain's largest d ...

Giro Di Lombardia
The Giro di Lombardia ( en, Tour of Lombardy), officially ''Il Lombardia'', is a cycling race in Lombardy, Italy. It is traditionally the last of the five 'Monuments' of the season, considered to be one of the most prestigious one-day events in cycling, and one of the last events on the UCI World Tour calendar. Nicknamed the ''Classica delle foglie morte'' ("the Classic of the falling (dead) leaves"), it is the most important Autumn Classic in cycling. The race's most famous climb is the Madonna del Ghisallo in the race finale. The first edition was held in 1905. Since its creation, the Giro di Lombardia has been the classic with the fewest interruptions in cycling; only the editions of 1943 and 1944 were cancelled for reasons of war. Italian Fausto Coppi won a record five times. Because of its demanding course, the race is considered a ''climbers classic'', favouring climbers with strong descending skills and a strong sprint finish.
