Bike

1 lap, 80 km

Single lap. The 80 km cycling section is the part that characterizes the race. After leaving the first transition area, participants will ride along the Pista Ciclopedonale del Parco Costiero del Ponente Ligure, heading east, crossing Riva Ligure and Santo Stefano al Mare, before start the first climb. The route climbs towards Terzorio, Pompeiana and Castellaro. The gradients are not prohibitive and make this first climb decidedly rideable: only in the last part, it reaches 10%. Subsequently, the route descends towards Taggia, before starting to gain altitude again. The route follows a slight slope that follows the course of the Argentina river towards Badalucco and then takes the turn from which a long 17 km climb begins that leads to Passo Ghimbegna (altitude 1030 m), after crossing Argallo, Zerni and Vignai. The positive difference in altitude, which is almost 1500 meters, is over: now we descend towards sea level from Bajardo, Ceriana and Poggio di Sanremo, facing the famous descent of the Classicissima Milano-Sanremo in the finale.
