Wednesday 11th june starts the “ticket race” for the Road World Championship races.

Wednesday 11th june will be the starting day of the pre-selling campaign of the tickets that will entitle to enjoy the 2008 Road Cycling World Championship on the first row.

An edition of this contest made unique by the availability of a buildingo – the Ippodromo «Le Bettole», that is, the Horse Race Stadium of Varese, turned into a «Cycling Stadium» - which will enable a staging literally unprecedented in the cycling world.

Such a Cycling Stadium, in fact, will show up as a sort of an “English Stadium”, totally filled with huge screens, and will enable the public to enjoy in an absolutely confortable way all race starts, arrivals and passages (every 17 kilometres along the races) of the most important competitions in the world cycling calendar.

The Varese's stage will include a vast exhibition area that will stage events, shows and animations (the «Worlds’ Village») as well as the national teams “pit lanes”, that will provide the public with the show represented by the technicians, mechanics and massage specialists of the various teams.

The Organization Committee, that relies on the BestTicket and IBTicket circuits, has established a charged access (both for the Cycling Stadium and the most meaningful point of the circuit, the Salita dei Ronchi uphill, connecting Capolago with Casbeno and representing the most technically interesting point of the race circuit) only for the three inline races: Under 23 (Friday 26th September), Women (Saturday 27th September) and Elite Men (Sunday 28th September). The access to the remainder of the race circuit, including the Montello uphill, will be free.

Thus, during the Opening Ceremony and the three stopwatch races the public will be granted free access to the «Binda», «Ganna» and «Coppi&Bartali» Tribunes, save the seats reserved by the Weekend Gold Tickets, that will be entitle to full use of such tickets during the whole week. These “Gold” spectators will have access to the VIP Restaurant as well from Tuesday to Sunday.
