Welcome in beautiful Sicily Island!
In this mandatory segment our riders enjoy the Sea, in Natural Reservoir Isola Bella before entering in Taormina
The town is perched on a cliff overlooking the Ionian Sea. Besides the ancient Greek theatre, it has many old churches, lively bars, fine restaurants and antique shops. The Santuario Madonna della Rocca is one such church. Located on the slope above the town, it commands an impressive view of the coast and Mount Etna to the south, and is accessible on foot via the staired path, Salita Castello.
The CP in this section will be in Piano Provenzano at 1790mt and during the climb you'll live several landscapes
Mount Etna is one of the world's most active volcanoes and is in an almost constant state of activity. The fertile volcanic soils support extensive agriculture, with vineyards and orchards spread across the lower slopes of the mountain.
With around 2000mt in elevation, this is a crucial "flag" in RAI2020!
