What finer way to trumpet the launch of the brand new Road Cycling Show than having former World Road Race Champion Mario Cipollini kick things off. The event, which takes place Sandown Park, Esher on April 21/22 offers an impressive range of events across the weekend including a triple distance sportive (57, 106 & 130km) on the Sunday and a chance to get up close and personal with Cipollini, winner of multiple TdF, Tour of Italy and Tour of Spain stages, after he opens proceedings on the Saturday at 9.30am. Tickets (£15 on the door, 12 in advance and under-16s free) available at www.roadcyclingshow.com
