The grand finale kicks off from Verona, winding east through the sun-bleached vineyards of Soave. A few gentle swells near the Berici Hills break up the flat terrain. Smooth asphalt provides maximum efficiency, making for effortless pacing as the kilometers fly by.
After cutting through historic Padova, the track joins the serene Brenta Canal. The route glides past the magnificent Venetian villas of Stra and Mira. The air grows salty near the coast. This epic trans-European journey reaches its absolute conclusion right at the threshold of Venice.
