On 29 and 30 May in lacona our e-bikers will find 4 ps specially prepared for this event under the supervision of Franco Monchiero and Luca Bortolotti.

PS1: Unpublished special stage, created specifically for the 2020 e-Enduro edition and improved for this season. It is not long, it does not include technical uphill sections except for some compression where you have to get to with the appropriate ratio otherwise you push! Short but intense, full of curves and challenging but not risky passages, it keeps you on your legs and on the brakes until the end. The compact and slippery ground (especially if dry) of the intermediate part does not allow errors.
PS2: Medium-length route with a total uphill gradient that is felt but still well distributed over the almost 3Km of development of the ps. An initial part in fast and technical descent that leads to a central part full of ups and downs and counter-slope changes of route; the priceless view towards the deep blue cannot, however, distract us from the task of pushing to achieve our best time. We assure you that upon arrival you will have shortness of breath and a heart in your throat, but you will be thrilled!
PS3: After having recharged (in all senses) at the CO we leave with an easy transfer, partly on asphalt, which brings us back to altitude, ready to face this really interesting PS. A dense forest hides the first curves between oak roots and counter-slopes, up to descend, fast, on a tortuous path with the ground and passages on solid stone, which ensure good grip even on a possible gloomy day. In the central part, however, the test becomes fast, dug with almost obligatory lines to avoid the risk of losing the flow. Predominantly gravity route, intense and not very exposed, no distractions, just open gas.
PS4: From the end of the PS3, overlooking the bay, the last transfer of about 6Km and 270mt for the “marathon Stage” of this race begins. A very long test, over 4 kilometers, with a technical and tortuous central uphill stretch that will test dexterity, glance, precision, driving skills without excluding heart and lungs. There will be little to sit, perhaps in the initial stretch of the long cantilevered traverse over the sea, but immediately after the tear that will take us to the top, ready to climb down the hill, it will force us to make great raises between the counter-slope curves on a compact surface. , however slippery, among the tenacious and scratchy shrubs; it is Elba, the Mediterranean terrain, intense perfumes and the blinding sun, the wonder of arriving at the end tired, but with a smile.
