Across the Atlantic, we’re racing in Italy too.
Gambettola’s Velosolutions Pump Track forms part of a regional cycling centre developed by After Skull A.S.D., a club with deep roots in MTB and BMX racing.
With dirt tracks, dedicated dirt jump lines and the pump track bringing everything together, the venue is built around a thriving local riding community. On Saturday, it steps onto the international stage as the Road to Beijing arrives in Gambettola.
