Passo Marco Pantani (Cippo di Carpegna)

Renamed "Passo Marco Pantani" in March 2023, the climb of Mount Carpegna was the Pirate's famous training ground. Pantani used to say, and it's a phrase you'll read many times on the asphalt: "Carpegna is enough for me." Going up from the town of the same name, you will encounter writings, statues and many other memories of Pantani. It is also a historic climb for the Giro d'Italia: in 1973 Eddy Merckx won here.

The Carpegna is the highest point in the area that can be reached by racing bike at around 1380m. Most of this marked section is closed to cars. In spring, a lot of wood breakage is to be expected on the crossing, so that you have to get off from time to time.

The climb of Cippo di Carpegna with its 6 KM and its average gradient of 10% as well as demanding reminds us in every bend Pantani, and his famous consideration "Carpegna is enough for me"
