Superb gravel strip. Up and down and fine to ride. Downhill gravel is not comfortable and uphill you slip when you step on the pedals. Lovely. Most beautiful part of Tuscany!

Schitterende gravelstrook. Op en neer en prima te rijden. Afdalen met grint is niet comfortabel en naar boven slip je weg als je op de pedalen gaat staan. Heerlijk. Mooiste stukje Toscane!

This is the approach to Monte St Marie and forms one long strip of gravel with it. Depending on the weather, the gravel is sometimes quite loose which can make it difficult. Apart from the surface, this is a blissful stretch for cycling. Constantly beautiful views (although I recommend paying attention to the road). Don't pay too much attention to the average climbing percentages in the profile, this climb is very irregular, you feel like you're on a rollercoaster, it goes from very steep to flat and downhill and vice versa.

Dit is de aanloop naar de Monte St Marie en vormt daar samen mee één lange gravelstrook. Afhankelijk van het weer ligt de gravel er soms vrij los bij wat het moeilijk kan maken. Los van de ondergrond is dit een zalig stuk om te fietsen. Constant mooi uitzicht (al raad ik aan op de weg te letten). Let niet te veel op de gemiddelde klimpercentages in het profiel, deze klim is heel onregelmatig, je hebt het gevoel dat je op een rollercoaster zit, het gaat van heel steil naar plat en bergaf en omgekeerd.

Dit is de befaamde sector 7 van de Strade Bianche, genaamd Monte Sante Marie maar hij is beter bekend als de Settore Fabian Cancellara. De gravelstrook is alles bij elkaar 11,5 km lang en is bij momenten behoorlijk steil. Het landschap en ook de uitzichten zijn ronduit fenomenaal!
