Italy • One-day Classic
A dusty odyssey through the soul of Tuscany, where the pristine white gravel roads of the 'sterrati' transform elite athletes into grit-covered warriors. The race is a relentless dance of power and poise that culminates in a lung-bursting ascent through the narrow medieval corridors of Siena toward a destiny etched in the stones of the Piazza del Campo.
