Sassetta to Suvereto
You didn’t hear it from me, but one of the nicest, tastiest, sweetest, funnest most excellent stretches of pavement is the run between Sassetta and Suvereto in good old Tuscany.
I haven’t counted them, but there is something like 180 turns. Did I mention it is fun?
Here’s a fun, arty little sped-up video of Andy Hampsten riding the first half of this little run. Thanks to our favorite French contributor Arnaud (whose steady hand is on an Ibis Silk) for the fun video!

Maybe next year we’ll get the second half!
Since we’re in video mode, I might as well show you this.
I really have nothing to add.

Almost as unbelievable as the bmx lady ninja fighters is the fact I watched all 3:22 of the vid. Note to self: I must get a life.

They need pro-tecs and Jofa mouth guards…just to be safe.

I always thought there should be a movie made up with some kind of MTB Super Hero…I was thinking of a bullet proof Lopes type with a bad boogey van…but this is close..are the BMX dudes the good guys?
