Surface

Mixed: paved road + white gravel roads (strade bianche)

Unique gravel classic through Tuscan countryside. The white roads eliminate any predictable race pattern — long attrition battles are common. The final 3km cobbled climb into Piazza del Campo in Siena is one of the most dramatic finishes in cycling.

  • 11 gravel sectors (63km total)
  • Sector 8 Monte Sante Marie (11.5km)
  • Final climb via Via Santa Caterina to Siena
  • Tuscan hills with loose white gravel
