The list of sportives continues to grow. The latest is the Specialized Silverstone Sportive, which will be held at the Porsche Experience Centre.

Jointly organised by Specialized and event management company VoTwo, the new Specialized Sportive will benefit from an exclusive start and finish venue and facilities. 

“This is the first Specialized Sportive, what better location for it,” says Richard Hemington, MD of Specialized. “Sportives are increasingly popular and we wanted to give these riders a great landmark for a new endurance challenge. It all came together when we met up with VoTwo”.  

VoTwo added: “We’re really looking forward to working with Specialized to put on a great sportive event on one of the biggest weekends in the global cycling calendar – the beginning of the Tour De France 2010. It will be fantastic for riders of all abilities to be able to act on the buzz of inspiration created by the Tour and get out there to challenge themselves over 25, 50 or 100 miles on 4 July.”

There will be three distances, 25 miles, 50 miles and 100 miles. Registration is now open at www.votwo.co.uk
