D+ Ultracycling Dolomitica
704 km and 20 climbs to be tackled between Veneto, Trentino Alto Adige and Friuli Venezia Giulia: the world's toughest bike race starts on 12 July from Vittorio Veneto, also passing through Val di Fassa.
From Duran to Sella, from Fedaia to Campolongo, from San Boldo to Giau. 704 kilometres by bike, through the three regions of North-Eastern Italy. 20 mountain passes to climb on the pedals, non-stop, by day and night. Over 17,000 metres of elevation gap to face, alone or in a team, within a maximum time of 52 hours.
