What's your dream cycling holiday? 🤔 Would you love to visit the Bassano Club House? 🔥
Italy has very nice scenery for cycling, when we was riding in Tuscany area, everything was great, except roads, local roads are in terrible conditions, we always came back with punctures, damaged rims. That why we completely moved to Spain for cycling training camp , nice weather, paerfect roads, more time to enjoy around while training and not focused all the time where will next hole on road will be.
Wow, I’m definitely going there one day from Australia
Good video but when will finally GCN go to a country which is not Italy, Spain, France or Switzerland? :DDDD Once you went to Poland and South America which was great, can we have more countries in the future please?
Will there be a video of si at the gravel worlds? Did I miss it?
Guys, I totally agree. The Dolomites and the venetian plane are ideal for all kinds of cycling adventures. Awesome video aswell.
BUT! It's in my opinion maybe the most well known cycling destination in central europe. Sure, maybe not this city in particular, but the whole region is far from a secret tip…😅
Too short!!!!
Dont go there, its bad. Everywhere else its better for you mass tourists.
All of northern Italy is pretty great. The road conditions aren't the best, but the road design is often wild, especially compared to France or Switzerland. I was in Como last September, lots of traffic on the main roads, but you can find hidden gems nearby, like Monte Bisbino, where the road was empty. Epic climb (and descent), really loved it
Italian road surfaces are pretty rough
Nice to see Basso get some love
i love veneto, it’s one of my favorite areas of italy (the other is puglia!)
check island Brač in Croatia
GCN never disappoints with these surprise uploads! Beautiful route and scenery you showed us! Definitely looks like cycling heaven to me! Cheers boys!
The Trough of Bowland is Nirvana for me.
what happened to Si's Gravel World Champs special? the GCN's show really need to sort the scheduled videos announcements… good video anyway. thanks.
It is very beautiful there. You should also go to South Korea one day.
I live near Venice and always go to mt. Grappa. Usually trekking from Madonna del covolo upt to the top
There is a super nice bike path, 80km long, starting from Bassano called the Valsulana which takes you to the Caldonazzo lake in Trentino. From here you can start other Giro d'Italia epic climbs like Passo Manghen. And come back to Bassano by train. The possibilities are endless in this area.
Italy has nice places. But veeeeery bad drivers. Avoid it at all cost.
What a beautiful advertisement!
This is a truly breathtaking 11-minute grappa advertisement 😅
Dai fioi, tutti a Bassan
I heard Italian drivers have no respect for cyclists compared to France/Spain and it is very dangerous road riding in Italy.
In Bassano there is as well Cybro that made carbon frames
Bassano on GCN before GTA VI 😍
Ah … Somerset levels then up cheddar gorge. Or ride out to Southport and back on Lancashire, followed by going up Parbold Hill. No? 😂
I'm not a road cyclist but recently rode Stelvio and Gavia passes with a group. (Terrifying!) A trip to Bassano del Grappa look to be WAY more my speed.
My better half and I went to Bassano in 2017 after watching a Col Collective video. Flew from Cape Town. to Venice. Caught a commuter train to Bassano. The roads were AMAZING!! and relatively quiet.
Monte Grappa is brutal. We rode the easy ascent from Romano d Eselina and it was tough but amazing. Highly recommended.
Your link to the Bassano Club House website is broken.
I wish you guys would start posting your strava routes in the descriptions.
Would you like a 56-year old American man to be a GCN presenter? You guys get to do some cool stuff!
For me It is Grenoble, I spent there a lot of time in 2016-2018. Right out of the city you can choose one of the three huge climbs. My mileage in that area between those years is 5600 km, hardly any flat roads. A climber's paradise.
In my bucket list already
Such a beautiful video it’s so motivating but it’s off season so can’t ride right now
We've been to Bassano earlier this year for a 3-day cycling tour during the Giro. We had the chance to ride up to Monte Grappa the same day of the Queen stage and then we watched the race live. Awesome views, routes, and cycling mentality. The Bassano clubhouse is a gem for cycling enthusiasts. As for Basso bikes, well, I'm not the right person to comment without bias. I own one 😊
Fantastic. Beautiful. Only wish this presentation had been much longer. I will never get to visit the places that you go, so I visit them with GCN.
Awesome video!
Hopefully the locals will tolerate the imminent Lycra invasion this video has created 😡
Obviously a beautiful place with great riding, but Italy isn't what you would call a safe place for queer folks (cyclists or otherwise) at this point in time
