After about 3 km, you can choose between SP71 or SP72. This side via SP72 is good to do. Long but a walkthrough. Via SP71 it is a lot spicier. At the top, SP71 and 72 meet again so you can make a nice lap of it. The climb via SP72 is for enjoyers the SP71 for heroes😀😜. With the warm Tuscan weather, I prefer this one. But the SP71 must be done.... read more

Na ca 3 km kan je kiezen tussen SP71 of SP72. Deze kant via de SP72 is goed te doen. Lang maar een doortrapper. Via SP71 is het een stuk pittiger. Boven komen SP71 en 72 weer bij elkaar dus je kunt er een mooie ronde van maken. De klim via de SP72 is voor genieters de SP71 voor helden😀😜. Met het warme Toscanes weer kies ik liever voor deze. Maar de SP71 moet je gedaan hebben.
