The route of the 108th edition will run along 182 km from Valdengo to Borgomanero: the last 70 km could favor an uncertain finish by putting the fast wheels present out of action
The list of starters for the 108th edition of the GranPiemonte presented by Crédit Agricole has been made official, organized by RCS Sport in collaboration with the Piedmont Region, which will take place tomorrow along 182 challenging km from Valdengo to Borgomanero. The route is divided into two sections: the first part is relatively flat, crossing plains and rice fields, while the second part features several climbs, such as the Colma Pass and the climbs of Cremosina and Traversagna.

THE PATH

After crossing the finish line, you follow a circuit (1 lap) of approximately 11 km. Last 11 km undulating on medium-width roads. The last kilometers are slightly uphill on a slight slope.
