The Poggio

This artwork captures the tension and beauty of the moment: the golden Italian light, the shimmer of the sea beyond, and the quiet intensity of riders on the brink of glory. A tribute to the place where legends make their final stand. Above the Ligurian coast, the Poggio di San Remo is one of cycling’s most iconic battlegrounds. This 3.7–4.3 km ascent may seem gentle on paper, averaging just 3.5–4%, but after nearly 300 kilometres of racing in La Classicissima, it becomes a crucible of endurance and nerve.
