Monte Zoncolan Priola - Italy
The very old climb from Priola is from the 1940´s and not easy to find. It was never used in the Giro d’Italia – because the team-cars could not do this climb as it’s too steep, tight and a bad road surface – but it is an amazing ride on a gravel bike. The video starts at Sutrio with a little bit of warm-up heading over to Priola where the climb (9.44 km 1139 m of climbing at 12.1% average!) starts. The last 3km are the same like the version from Sutrio which is already on FulGaz and was used in Giro d’Italia 2021.
