A mythical climb, linked not only to the memory of the Pirate (he used to train on these ramps) but also to the Giro d'Italia and the Tirreno, great champions of cycling past and present have passed through here, from Merckx to Pogacar, from Fuentes to Pantani. The climb is almost entirely immersed in a dense forest that opens up here and there to a breathtaking panorama, the gradients are always acid from the first to the last metre, you have to manage yourself well and calibrate your effort.
Salita mitica, legata non solo alla memoria del Pirata (solito allenarsi su queste rampe) ma anche al Giro d'Italia e alla Tirreno, qui sono passati i grandi campioni del passato e del presente del ciclismo, da Merckx a Pogacar, da Fuentes a Pantani. L'ascesa è quasi interamente immersa in un fitto bosco che si apre qua e là su un panorama mozzafiato, le pendenze sono sempre acide dal primo all'ultimo metro, bisogna gestirsi bene e calibrare lo sforzo.
The climb to the top of Pantani's col from Carpegna in 22 (!) clearly marked hairpin bends is one for lovers of steep bites. In fact, coming from the coast, you first have to go up for about a good 40 km - although thankfully this is relatively moderate - before you can shoot your last cartouches here. The monument in honour of Pantani ('The Cartegna is enough for me.') stands neatly in the forest and a little further on you'll find a handy little fountain. Just before the summit there is another one like it. The beginning of the climb is the hardest.
De klim naar de top van Pantani’s col vanuit Carpegna in 22 (!) duidelijk aangegeven haarspeldbochten is er eentje voor de liefhebbers van steile bijters. Je moet eigenlijk, als je van de kust komt, eerst al zo’n dikke 40 km omhoog - hoewel dat gelukkig relatief gematigd is - vooraleer je je laatste cartouches hier kan schieten. Het monument ter ere van Pantani (‘The Cartegna is enough for me.’) staat netjes in het bos en iets verderop vind je een handig fonteintje. Net voor de top is er nog zo een. Het begin van de klim is het moeilijkst.
A mythical climb that at various points recalls Marco and other champions of the past.
Often dirty because in the middle of the forest, especially the second part which is closed to traffic.
Salita mitica che in vari punti ricorda Marco e altri campioni del passato.
Spesso sporca perché in mezzo al bosco, specialmente la seconda parte che è chiusa al traffico.
