THE ROUTE OF THE GRANPIEMONTE PRESENTED BY CRÉDIT AGRICOLE
A challenging course featuring around ten climbs of varying lengths, among which Manera, Tre Cunei and Roddino stand out before the two passages through La Morra in the final circuit. The start from Asti enters the first very undulating section which concludes at Dogliani after continuous ups and downs with hilly roads sometimes featuring reduced carriageway width. This is followed by a less demanding but still undulating stretch until the foot of the first passage through La Morra where the final circuit of 34.7 km (1 lap) begins. The final circuit passes just a few hundred meters from the finish in Bra and heads towards Cherasco (climbed via Strada Vecchia) and then climbs La Morra a second time to descend towards Verduno and then Pollenzo before finally heading to the finish (exiting the circuit) approximately 500 m from the finish line.

The final kilometers are flat until approximately 1800 m from the finish. The road then rises with gentle gradients (2/3%) until 1500 m where for 1 km it settles around 5% with peaks of 8% just before the final kilometer. The road gradually flattens and features two left/right curves respectively at 500 m and 250 m from the finish. Final straight of 250 m in slight climb (approximately 1%).
