This really is the toughest version of the Mortirolo. At one point, you have to go straight on down a narrow road instead of following the hairpin bend; from then on, you’re faced with one steep climb after another. I had almost no choice but to attack those walls on the pedals, just like Contador. Between the walls, there’s the occasional 20-metre stretch. You really have to use that to take the pressure off the pedals for a moment. A truly monstrous climb.
