Inaugural Winner: The first edition in 2021 was won by Italian rider Samuele Battistella.
Classification: It started on the UCI Europe Tour calendar as a 1.1 rated event, and since 2023, it has been on the higher-tier UCI ProSeries calendar.
Typical Timing: It is typically held in October, often serving as a late-season event or the grand finale of Italy’s autumn racing block.
Route: The course is a “classic” style race, featuring a demanding route with challenging climbs in the Veneto terrain. The finish line is frequently in Bassano del Grappa.
