The Route
With some 850m of cumulative positive elevation, this stage offers a mix of sustained climbs and technical descents. Leaving the stopover of Cinturi, you head for the southwest of the Cap Corse Peninsula. The main climb begins 1km after the village. Prepare for a series of four climbs, making this something of a roller-coaster ride. Although you don’t have to go higher than 200m in altitude, there are stretches with gradients of 7% to 8%. Having cycled some 23km southwards as far as Marine de Giotani, a tiny port 10km before San Fiurenzu, the cycle route then runs beside the Patrimonio (Patrimoniu) vineyards. The final stretch to reach your stopover is gentle, the descent very gradual. Saint Florent, a lively port and resort, is a perfect place in which to enjoy a well-earned rest.
