Preview. Trofeo Laigueglia will take place on the 1st of March and be the first of a big block of Italian races throughout the month. It is a race for the climbers and puncheurs, with the Ligurian coast as the backdrop for an explosive race.

Each of them will include the Colla Micheri (1.9Km at 8.6%) which is less than 9 kilometers away from the finish line and should be enough for the race to explode completely.
