Stage 11
Carpi > Novi Ligure



A pan-flat stage to the edge of the Po Valley. After Casteggio, the route follows the traditional itinerary of Milano-Sanremo, up to 3 km from the finish. Starting from Carpi, the route first heads towards Reggio Emilia. After crossing the town, it takes the ss. 9 “Via Emilia” all the way to Piacenza, following a straight course. Past Piacenza, the route takes the former Statale Padana Inferiore all the way to the finish, passing through several cities that have often been featured in the Giro route, and in the Milano-Sanremo finale.

 

Final kilometres

The last 3 km are virtually straight, with some roundabouts in-between that will require no major diversions. The last bend is 3,000 m from the finish line. The home straight is 2,800 m long, on 7.5 m wide asphalt road.

Carpi

 

  

Carpi, a pearl of the Renaissance: that appeared to the German travellers of the late XIX the ancient seigniory of Pio and even today bears witness to the recently restored Pio Palace – home of the most museums of the city. Nowadays Carpi is a lively city, thanks to its industries and handcraft, trade and its commercial and cultural exchange, its artistic and scientific life. It’s a city that never stops and offers a packed calendar of events throughout the year.

Discover the Arrival

Novi Ligure

 

  

The city of Novi Ligure lies at the foot of the hills where the renowned Gavi wine was born, in the south-east side of Alto Monferrato, on the left borders of the river Scrivia valley. Visiting Novi Ligure will give you the chance to discover the historic centre and its Genoese-style palazzi with their typical painted facades, and also the Museo dei Campionissimi, a museum built in honor of the great road cyclists, campionissimi Costante Girardengo and Fausto Coppi. In the museum you can discover the history of cyclism through memorabilia, historical bycicles and various objects of the past and present day. Some of its rooms are especially dedicated to temporary exhibitions.

Gastronomy

In this part of Piedmont close to the border with Liguria, both food and wine show the influence of both regional traditions. The most remarkable delicacies are farinata, panissa, novese focaccia, agnolotti, corzetti (typical homemade rounded pasta dish with stamps of the historic districts symbols on it), Gavi’s testa in cassetta [Slow Food Presidia], Montebore cheese (Slow Food Praesidia), district of Merella’s chickpeas and Otto File Tortonese corn, baci di dama, amaretti biscuits, canestrelli with Gavi wine and boiled canestrelli.

Places of Interest

The most important square is called Piazza Delle Piane, named after a historical noble family, where are located the Palazzo of the same name, the Collegiata church and Palazzo Negroni, with two painted sundials, one of these based on the French Revolutionary calendar. Novi Ligure still keeps a portion of the city walls built in 1447 and then partly demolished in 1825. The only part of the castle (dismantled in XVIII century) left is the 30 meters high tower. Near the historic centre you can find the Museo dei Campionissimi, inaugurated in 2003. It was named after the two cyclism champions Fausto Coppi e Costante Girandengo, called by journalists Campionissimi. The museum is a 3.000 sq.m. building dedicated to the history of bycicle and cyclism. It often also hosts concerts, conferences, performances and art exhibitions. We suggest you to visit in the city’s surroundings also the town of Bosco Marenco with the historical complex of Santa Croce and Vasari’s paintings, the castles of Monferrato, the hiking trails between Capanne di Marcarolo and Val Borbera, the archeological site of Libarna, an ancient roman city along the Via Postumia, the town of Gavi and its fortress, the Pinacoteca dei Cappuccini di Voltaggio, with paintings of the XVII century by genoeses masters such as Domenico Fiasella, Bernardo Strozzi and Sinibaldo Scorza.

Why is the organization doing this to us? At least it's not a short and completely boring route like yesterday....now it's a long and completely boring route  

 

That palace where they start is alright, there's maybe one or two interesting sights in 200km of riding and then a finish with.....wow, 1% rise in the last kilometer  

 

Excellent day to do *insertanyrandomthing* until the last 3km

Viviani and Sabatini are so bad together this Giro. Where are Morkov and Richeze?
