In this special series, I’m bringing you on the road with the VIA Race, a 4,000-kilometer self-supported ultra-cycling odyssey from southern Italy to the Netherlands. It’s not just a race, it’s a modern epic, inspired by the journeys of ancient generals and fueled by human grit. In Episode 1, I set the scene for what’s to come: 🚴♀️ The riders taking on this beast 📍 The historic route inspired by Roman general Germanicus ⛰️ The climbing, the checkpoints, and the chaos 👀 Who to watch, from defending champs to inspiring para-athletes 🎙️ And how Zone2Speak will capture the daily emotion, exhaustion, and elation straight from the road Expect highlights, raw moments, and voices from riders as they take on one of Europe’s most ambitious ultra events.
