Route

Cesena - Cesenatico (195.4km)
14 September

Analysis

Honouring, just like every September, the figure of one of the most talented, charismatic climbers of all time, the Memorial Marco Pantani reaches 21 editions, twenty years, since the ‘Elefantino’ perished. To remember ‘Il Pirata’ as he deserves, a new course has been designed, starting from Cesena and not climbing the Monte Carpegna this time, yet ultimately a very interesting one.

Most of what should happen in Cesenatico’s coastal finish will be decided into the new circuit, with 5x the climb of Diolaguardia. It’s a very irregular one, with a total of 7.5km at 3.4%, but the final section of each ascent features two slopes of, respectively, 1,400 meters at 8% and a final 650m al 8.3%. It will be crestes for the last time with 50km to go.
