La Monsterrando Strade Bianche Monferrato

La Monsterrando is a cyclotourist ride that will be upgraded to a gravel competition and become the first UCI Gravel event in Italy in the UCI Gravel World Series.  The race is held in the famous Italian Monferrato wine region with many “strade bianche” which are so typical for the area.

The course starts and finishes in Quattordio, a small town in the Monferrato wine region in Piemonte, full of “Strade Bianche” on undulating rural roads.

The circuit winds through all the small villages and towns north of the A21-E70 highway from Alessandria to Asti for a long 150km with a first loop to the east to come back after 76km over the same road that was already taken in between 22-27km to make a western loop with a lot of turns and small rural roads before heading back to the south to finish in Quattordio

The shorter 113km has the same start and finish section but makes a shortcut in between km 82 and 120 on the long course.
