The “cut legs” climb is well presented by the numerous writings on the asphalt that announce the challenge. In reality, the first 2 km, which are actually very hard, is followed by a stretch of about 1 km slightly less steep that allows you to recover before facing the last ramp that leads to the brow.
The proposed segment is only the final one from Poggio to Monte Perone. In reality, the leg-cut ascent starts from Marciana Marina.
The Tagliagambe, as we read in the sign placed at the top, was born as an idea by four friends "Marinesi" who in a pub during a late-school goliardic evening, after several glasses, decided without any training to climb Monte Perone by bicycle.
On June 15, 2005 they were serious and challenged each other in the terrible 9 km ascent starting from Marciana Marina which they called "TAGLIAGAMBE".
From 2005 onwards it has become a leading sporting event for the Island of Elba, attracting athletes from the continent and tourists with a passion for cycling from Germany, England and Austria ...
