Sector 8 from the Strade Bianche match. From Asciano in the south we drove the last and according to many the toughest gravel section from the spring classic. Long known as the Monte Sante Marie, but after three victories by the rider of the same name it was renamed 'settore Fabian Cancellara'. Still tough from the north, but a lot easier to cycle. A gravel bike does better here than a racing bike ;-)
