Like Formula 1’s most iconic street circuit, this leg of the LGCT calendar is fast, unforgiving, and wildly glamorous. Against the backdrop of luxury yachts, steep city streets, and the Mediterranean shimmer, the tightest arena on tour demands split-second decisions and championship nerve.

As the rider list is revealed, tension builds - this is more than a jump-off, it’s a global grid of elite athletes ready to go full throttle.
