I think you usually do this climb in an event and then this is just a wonderful dessert. Short but steep and in a beautiful setting. Very cool!

Epic ramp right up to the Siena historical center. Very interesting experience riding in these streets. Just be careful as there can be quite a lot of tourists.

Iconisch klimmetje tussen de huizen van Siena, de beslissing van de Strade Bianche is hier al vaak gevallen aangezien dat het de laatste klim is van deze profkoers. Het is een kort klimmetje, maar toch afzien vanwege de stevige hellingsgraad. Ten slotte is de klim ook best mooi: een typisch Italiaans straatje dat smal en gezellig is, hierna kan je nog door een aantal andere leuke straatjes kronkelen waarna je aankomt op de iconische Pizza del Campo. De moeite waard dus!
