Official event pageWhat this race demands
Granfondo Via del Sale Fantini Club is an early-season road cycling event in Cervia that requires riders to navigate the scenic hills of Romagna from a seafront start and finish.
Early-Season Form
Because the event takes place in early April, athletes must build sufficient base fitness over the winter months to handle a demanding granfondo format without peak-season volume.
Hilly Terrain Adaptability
The course profile takes riders through the hills of Romagna, requiring sustained climbing and descending capability common to traditional Italian granfondos.
Group Riding Skills
As a historic road cycling granfondo starting on the seafront, navigating large pelotons and maintaining position in the early-season pack are essential.
