Austria's traditional event, with 1870 metres of altitude difference spread over 112 kilometres, is an achievable task for amateur cyclists. For those who want to really push themselves to the limit on 11 June, the SuperGiroDolomiti is a challenge that requires very good legs: 5450 metres in altitude and 228 kilometres. Monte Zoncolan is also included in the programme as a particularly tough climb.
At the Giro d'Italia, even professional cyclists have a lot of respect for the long, steep ramps of Monte Zoncolan. At its peak, the road is up to 23 per cent steep and climbs almost continuously with double-digit gradients. Don't fall over and don't dismount - that's the motto for many cyclists. The landscape serves as motivation and a cycling jersey awaits all finishers of the SuperGiroDolomiti at the finish line as a reward.
