Britain’s Charly Wegelius was in action again over the weekend at the prestigious Giro del Lazio in Italy.

Wegelius finished 45th, 2:07 behind race-winner Francesco Masciarelli, in what is usually considered as a warm-up for the Tour of Lombardy a week on Saturday.

BELLIS RACING AGAIN
Britain’s Jonathan Bellis was racing again in only his second race for the CSC team at the Circuit Franco-Belge.
