7th GP General Store 2026 🇮🇹 (1.12) ME – Sant’Ambrogio di Valpolicella – Sant’Ambrogio di Valpolicella : 160,9 km
GP General Store is a UCI 1.12 classification that unfolds across the sun-drenched, rolling landscapes of central Italy, where the roads weave through a patchwork of vineyards, olive groves, and medieval hilltop towns, their surfaces a mix of smooth tarmac and rough, weathered stretches that whisper of centuries past. The terrain is a relentless succession of short, punchy climbs and fast descents, their gradients sharp enough to force repeated accelerations, each ascent acting as a natural filter that splits the peloton into smaller, more selective groups. The climbs, often no longer than a kilometer or two, are steep and technical, their slopes lined with spectators who cheer as the race fractures under the pressure, while the descents are fast and sinuous, their roads twisting through tight bends and narrow passages that demand precision and nerve. Between the climbs, the route flattens briefly, but the roads remain exposed, the wind cutting across the open valleys, turning the race into a tactical battle as riders fight for position in the peloton or the shelter of a breakaway. The race typically begins with a cautious rhythm, the peloton conserving energy for the inevitable attacks, but as the kilometers tick down, the accelerations grow more frequent, the climbs serving as launchpads for moves that thin the group to the strongest. The finish often arrives after a final, fast descent or a short, uphill drag to the line, where a reduced bunch sprints for victory, or a lone rider who has escaped the chaos holds off the charging pack by a handful of seconds, the golden light of late afternoon casting long shadows across the road.
