Der Schotter hat nicht mehr viel mit den Strade Bianches zu tun, die sich auch auf 25mm befahren lassen. Teils gibt es so viel Kies, dass wir in Kombination mit der Steigung auf 45mm Gravel und 50mm Almotion Reifen keinen Grip mehr hatten. Die Sonne knallt häufig ohne richtigen Schatten auf die Serpentinen, aber die Ausblicke sind spektakulär.

The gravel no longer has much to do with the Strade Bianches, which can also be ridden on 25mm tyres. There is so much gravel in places that, in combination with the gradient, we had no grip on 45mm gravel and 50mm Almotion tyres. The sun often beats down on the hairpin bends without any real shade, but the views are spectacular. While we were pedalling up the mountain in our high-tech gear, an Italian grandad ran up the hill in front of us pushing his bike. A climb we won't forget in a hurry!

Ein Anstieg, den wir so schnell nicht vergessen werden!
