COURSE DESCRIPTION – PROLOGUE
A 30/40 second sprint around the promenade in Diano Marino over a flat course with natural and artificial obstacles.
COURSE DESCRIPTION – SPECIAL STAGES
Check the onboard videos of the special stages:
1 – Maiali: Returning by popular demand, we’re sure this will make a lot of people happy! This is one of the most popular trails in the region. With its twenty-one jumps it is a challenge for riders of all levels. After starting with a 20m slight uphill sprint, it is all singletrack, ending with bike park-style jumps.
2 – Molini: An all-new trail for this year! Typical of the trails in this region, riders will need to find their rhythmn through the sequence of tight, steep corners. Starts 500m above Maiali.
Race office (C.O.): – In the Piazza Santa Maria (Torre Saracena) in the centre of San Bartolomeo al Mare.
3 – San Rocco: A classic and another favourite among riders. A mixture of steep chutes and jumps, flowing back down to the town below. Uses the same start and finish as previous years.
4 – Antennae (Cervo): Possibly the most famous track in the area, with its Salto nel Blu (Jump into the Blue). It has been a favourite with magazines and photographers over the years for its stunning views of the sea. This year the middle section has been changed and lengthened by about a minute. Probably the least technically challenging of the stages, but whether it will feel like that after 40km in the saddle is a different question!
