Dan & Matt took on the medium route 106km, and 3130m of climbing. Matt appeared to go off too fast, in Dan's words of course.
Taking in the following climbs
Passo Campolongo
Passo Pordoi
Passo Sella
Passo Gardena
Passo Campolongo (again!)
Passo Falzarego
But before they could ride it, the guys had to undertake a medical test to make sure they were in good enough shape to participate. We never had any doubt!
Also show is Dan Lloyd taking part in a kids race, don't ask!

Do you need cycling-specific clothing? While regular clothes work fine, cycling-specific gear really steps up your comfort and performance. Join Hank and Manon as they take you through the must-have kit in every cyclist's wardrobe!
If you’re new to cycling, heading out onto busy, open roads can feel a little daunting, but we're here to help! In this video, Manon shares her top cycling tips that will help you handle traffic and improve your confidence navigating the roads!
Cyclists are known for their lean physiques. To some outsiders, they might appear "skinny" and "weak", and while we know that this isn’t the case, Dan & Si still tackle the debate head-on! In this week's show they dive into whether a cyclist's physique is truly the pinnacle of fitness ...or not!
If you were given £2,000 to buy any bike you want, what would you do? Here at GCN, we'd almost certainly go for a used bike.
