Bormio 2025

Vanuit Bormio begin je meteen al te klimmen, je hebt tot voor de voet van de Gavia twee rust momenten, hierna is het alleen nog maar klimmen. 4km onder de top heb je het steilste stuk gehad maar draai je vol tegen de wind in als je pech hebt, het laatste stuk is niet meer zo steil, je kan er een redelijk tempo door fietsen.
