Starting in Soave, the route heads towards Vicenza, tackling the Monteviale climb and also passing through Sandrigo, home of race organizers PP Sport Events. A sprint in Nove will honour Jacopo Venzo, a local junior rider who tragically passed away last year. The race will then arrive on its signature roads, beginning with the 12.6 km La Rosina circuit, featuring a 2.1 km climb with a 6.5% average gradient, to be repeated twice.
Next is the La Tisa circuit, with a short but vicious 330-metre cobbled climb at 15.2%. The riders will tackle this leg-buckling ramp five times. A special Tisa Party zone with beer, burgers, and a DJ set will bring a Tour of Flanders-style atmosphere to the race as fans cheer on the riders.
The final challenges come with the 1.3 km gravel climb at Diesel Farm (average gradient 10.9%), followed by the short, sharp Contrà Soarda (400 meters at 13%), where last year’s winner, Davide Formolo, launched his solo attack. The peloton will then sweep into Bassano, over the Ponte Nuovo bridge and towards what is sure to be a dramatic finish in Piazza Libertà.
