READY STEADY TOKYO Bicycle Racing (Road) was held (July 21, 2019)

On July 21, 2019 (Sunday), a test event for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games cycling (road) called "READY STEADY TOKYO - Cycling (Road)" was held.
A total of 96 athletes from around the world participated in the event, showcasing an exciting race.
The results saw Italian athletes taking the 1st and 2nd places, making it a competition where the Italian team demonstrated their strength.

In addition, this time the event was held on a course excluding some sections of the actual race, which left a strong impression that it is a very challenging course with only about half of the participants, 49 people, finishing.
In the actual race in 2020, the total distance will be approximately 244 km, which is about 55 km longer, and it is said to be the most grueling course in Olympic history.
It will be interesting to see how the world's top athletes, who could not participate in the test event due to a schedule overlap with the Tour de France, will tackle this difficult course in 2020.
