What you should know
- The route mixes tarmac with long white gravel (strade bianche) sectors; expect dust if dry, mud if wet.
- Steep gravel ramps and the climb into Siena's centre demand low gears; consider a compact or wider cassette.
- Descend gravel cautiously: brake before corners, hold your line and avoid sudden moves near other riders.
- Italian events typically require a valid medical certificate for competitive cycling; check the organiser's rules.
- Respect traffic rules on open sections and any published time cutoffs, or you may be redirected to the shorter route.
