This is definitely the toughest version of the Mortirolo. At one point, you have to go straight onto a small road instead of following the hairpin turn—and from there on, you’re faced with one wall after another. I had almost no choice but to power through those walls on the pedals, just like Contador. Between the walls, there’s occasionally a 20-meter stretch. You really have to use that to take the pressure off the pedals for a moment. It’s truly a monstrous climb.... read more

Dit is echt de lastigste variant van de Mortirolo. Op een gegeven moment moet je rechtdoor een klein weggetje in, in plaats van de haarspeldbocht te volgen vanaf dan krijg je de ene na de andere muur voorgeschoteld. Ik kon bijna nie anders dan die muurtjes op de pedalen te doen zoals Contador. Tussen de muurtjes heb je af en toe een tussenstuk van 20 meter. Die moet je echt gebruiken om even de druk van de pedalen te houden. Echt een monsterlijke klim.
