With this sharp curve to the right, one of the most famous climbs in Romagna begins: the Barbotto. It is 4.6 kilometers long from here and the legendary ascent record is 11 minutes and 20 seconds, set by Marco Pantani, in one of his many training sessions on these roads. Here there is also a fountain where you can refill your water bottles.

The fourth and hardest ascent of the 9 hills: the barbotto ... from Mercato Saraceno (FC). It is a tricky climb, at the beginning it does not present great difficulties, but if you underestimate it, the final hairpin turns and the last 800 meters at 18% can hurt ... 😁

Nove Colli the long track section with the 4 short distance Collis. Beautiful scenery and crisp slopes, especially at the Barbotto.
