The stage
Monday 10 May 2027. Stage 3, Cervignano del Friuli to Possagno, 163 km.
The race runs flat for more than a hundred kilometres, then crosses the Montello by Santa Maria della Vittoria and the Forcella Mostaccin. The road rises to the line in Possagno, the town beneath Canova’s Temple at the foot of Monte Grappa.
On race day the roads near the finish close for hours before the riders arrive. Stay in the right place and that is the best part: empty roads, a crowd, and the race coming up the hill. Stay in the wrong one and you spend the afternoon in a queue.
Four nights around the race
- Saturday.Airport transfer to Bassano del Grappa, bike fitting, welcome dinner.
- Sunday.Your first ride, on routes we design around your pace. Lunch on the road and a wine tasting.
- Monday, race day.Ride out to Possagno before the roads close, watch the finish from a spot we know, and ride back to Bassano for dinner while the traffic clears.
- Tuesday.Another ride, a cooking masterclass, and a farewell dinner.
- Wednesday.Breakfast and your transfer to the airport.
These are suggested dates. Every trip is built around you, so the number of nights, the hotel and the extras can all change.
