The Veneto Classic once again closes the international professional calendar and the Ride the Dreamland series. Year after year, the race is establishing itself as a prestigious end-of-season event with spectacular, unpredictable routes and many champions battling it out with attacks and counterattacks. Climbs, walls, pavé, gravel, and art cities - the race now shines with its own light, combining the show offered by the riders with that of the Veneto landscapes.

The 2025 edition will start from Soave (VR) and head towards the Vicenza area, passing through Vicenza, Sandrigo, home of PP Sport Events, then Breganze, Colceresa before reaching the Tisa, a short 330-meter pavé section at 15.2% brought to the spotlight by Pozzato and his team for the first time during the 2020 Italian Championships.

The route then proceeds towards Marostica with the La Rosina circuit, 12.6 km long and to be repeated twice. The climb, 2.1 km long with an average gradient of 6.5%, has already been the scene of battles in the Giro del Veneto and Giro d'Italia, represents the center of the world for local cycling enthusiasts, and in this Veneto Classic will serve as a scenario to open hostilities. Afterwards, it will be time for the La Tisa circuit, 12.4 km long, which will be repeated 4 times in full, but the climb will be tackled one more time, as the riders will face it before entering the loop. After exiting the circuit, 16 km will remain to the finish. Before reaching Bassano, however, there is still one more difficulty, the Diesel Farm wall, the wine tailoring, 1300 meters of gravel at an average gradient of 10.9%, 10 km from the finish. There is then a short and sharp ramp at Contrà Soarda (400 meters at 13%), where in 2023 the winner Davide Formolo went away alone, before riding through Contrà San Giorgio and Viale Diaz.

After crossing the Ponte Nuovo in the city center, a sharp left turn at Piazzale Cadorna onto Via Porto di Brenta, a final effort on Via Portici Lunghi to climb to the squares and reach the finish line in Piazza Libertà. The La Tisa wall is also where the Veneto Classic will showcase its most festive soul: along the climb, a special area will be set up, even more so this year, where you can drink beer and eat a hamburger - accompanied by a DJ set to further heat up the atmosphere - applaud the riders in their 6 passes on the climb and follow the rest of the race on the specially installed big screen. In short, with the Tisa Party, there will be a taste of Flemish atmosphere on the splendid Veneto roads.
