Granfondo Alassio demands sustained climbing ability and strong descending skills to manage 1790 meters of elevation over 90.6 kilometers.
Climbing volume
Athletes must manage 1790 meters of elevation across a 90.6 km route, requiring consistent climbing effort and efficient pacing on ascents such as the final climb to the Sanctuary of the Madonna della Guardia.
Terrain management
