Revisiting the history of cycling with this climb is great! Nice challenging, never lets you down, but what a joy to have succeeded. Some of the tears are tremendous and put a strain on the legs.... read more

Ripercorre la storia del ciclismo con questa salita è fantastico! Bella impegnativa, non ti molla mai, ma che goduria esserci riuscito. Alcuni strappi sono tremendi e mettono in difficoltà le gambe.

Cycling history has already been made here. This is often where the first big shuffle is made in the Strade Bianchi, or in Pogacar's case, the final shuffle. The climb is entirely gravel and is quite difficult along its entire length. However, there is one particular section where you ride up in 2 or 3 plateaus, 2 or 3 almost flat sections interspersed with sections of 15%. This is really a drain on your legs. Difficulty aside, this climb, and by extension the whole region, is a cycling paradise.

Hier is nu al wielergeschiedenis geschreven. Vaak wordt hier de eerste grote schifting gemaakt in de Strade Bianchi, of in het geval van Pogacar de finale schifting. De klim is volledig gravel en is vrij lastig over de hele lengte. Er is één bepaald stuk waar je echter in 2 of 3 plateautjes naar boven rijd, 2 of 3 bijna vlakke stukken afgewisseld met stukken van 15%. Dit is echt een aanslag op je benen. Los van de lastigheidsgraad is deze klim, en bij uitbreiding de hele regio, een fietsparadijs.

Very steep and hard gravel climb in beautiful Tuscan scenery. The 'Strade Bianche' pro race has seen many decisive attacks on these slopes. Only a must do if you are not afraid to be banged up a bit, similar to riding up and down cobblestones. It is possible with a road bike for the full experience, but if you like a bit more comfort you can opt for a gravel or mountain bike.
