A 40km rollercoaster through beautiful scenery. This climb undulates up and down continuously and allows absolutely no rhythm, which is not particularly pleasant. Pieces of descent are accompanied by walls of double percentages and this almost all the time. In short, not to be underestimated despite the moderate average gradient.... read more

This climb (say, lots of short steep climbs) is part of the Supergirodolimiti and then (after 2x Plückenpass, the Zoncolan and two more climbs I forget the name of) this is a real pain in the ass... You never get into a rhythm and there are some really steep sections.

With fresh legs probably a nice scenery though, but I didn't see any of that ;-).

Deze klim (zeg maar gerust, veel korte steile klimmetjes) is onderdeel van de Supergirodolimiti en dan (na 2x Plückenpass, de Zoncolan en nog twee klimmen waar ik de naam van vergeten ben) is dit echt een rotding... Je komt nooit in een ritme en er zitten echt steile stukken bij.

Met frisse benen waarschijnlijk wel een mooie omgeving, maar daar heb ik niets van gezien ;-).

It all seems not that intense, but with 125km in the legs, it is no fun. The tarmac is not always the best and it goes up and down

Het lijkt allemaal niet zo heftig, maar met 125km in de benen is het geen pretje. Het asfalt is niet altijd best en het gaat op en neer

Een achtbaan van 40km door een prachtig landschap. Deze klim golft continu op en neer en laat absoluut geen ritme toe, wat niet bepaald prettig is. Stukjes afdaling gaan gepaard met muurtjes van dubbele percentages en dit vrijwel de hele tijd. Kortom, niet te onderschatten ondanks het matige gemiddeld stijgingspercentage.
