A somewhat technical segment, but also suitable for less "experts" who want to test themselves. Leaving the main road, you immediately start with a beautiful wall that will act as an "entrance test". If the mud were already too much abandoned everything because going forward will only be worse.
The second wall is encountered shortly after 300 meters and is certainly the most characteristic: a beautiful ramp of about a hundred meters at about 15% on concrete sleepers. Arriving at the top, with a beautiful day, the view is breathtaking and it will be possible to admire the Nirano sauces park, the Rocca Santa Maria fortress and the gullies of Mont Blanc as well as a magnificent view from above of the whole city.
Continuing the climbs become less steep and more constant, otherwise the ground becomes much more battered, filling with cracks, furrows and holes that make it more technical and much less smooth.
After 2km you will return to pedaling on asphalt thus arriving in Montagnana, at the intersection between via Giardini and via Rocca Santa Maria.
