Kinomap: Ratkevičius and Wolff win also in Dali!
Kinomap: Ratkevičius and Wolff win also in Dali!

The second stage of the virtual Granfondo Yunnan Challenge on Kinomap was the longest and fastest. Set in Dali along the mythical Erhai Lake, riders-at-home had to complete a virtual course of 47,5km based on last year’s real stage of Granfondo Yunnan. In the end we have the same winners as last week in Mangshi, even though competition was more dense. Especially for Lithuanian Marius Ratkevičius, who took the stage win only on the last day. Ratkevičius did 2 minutes and 24 seconds faster than the rider with the Kinomap nickname Hicky625, who had been leading most of the week. The winning time was 1 hour 20 minutes and 4 seconds. That is not the virtual course record of this stage. Last month a rider in France nicknamed Richard BTT recorded a lightning 58’58”! A Polish rider nicknamed Grzesiekk19006 was third in 1:30:56.

GFY 2020: Real Race & Virtual Stage Race
GFY 2020: Real Race & Virtual Stage Race

The global covid 19 pandemic has wreaked havoc in the sports, cultural and entertainment industry this year. Only a minority of planned non-professional sports events are taking place, with a much reduced scope, and most have been cancelled all together out of safety fears. Following weeks of reflection and discussion with Yunnan Sports and all relevant authorities of the cities on the Granfondo Yunnan tour, we are therefore quite pleased to announce that this year’s event will take place - albeit in a restricted format and largely adapted to today’s needs in the covid 19 world.

This year’s Granfondo Yunnan will consist of a one-day ‘real' long distance race on Sunday, 29 November 2020, preceeded by a virtual stage race on the preceding weekends in November.
