Where the Giro d’Italia makes history<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Giro first arrived in the Dolomites in 1937, sparking a legendary love affair that has captivated pro riders and amateurs alike ever since. While famous passes like Giau and Pordoi are just a stone\u2019s throw away, the climbs around Belluno and Feltre<\/strong> have written some of cycling\u2019s most epic chapters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take the Neveg\u00e0l<\/strong>: first introduced in 1962, it became the stage for a legendary showdown in 2011. Alberto Contador, “El Pistolero,” delivered a performance for the ages, beating the favorite Vincenzo Nibali in a mountain time trial that left the crowds roaring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then there is the Croce d\u2019Aune Pass<\/strong>. It was here, on November 4th, 1924, that a young Tullio Campagnolo<\/strong> saw victory slip away because his frozen hands couldn’t loosen his wheel. That moment of frustration led to the invention of the quick-release skewer and the modern derailleur. Cycling changed forever right here, on these slopes. For those seeking a spiritual challenge, the various ascents of Monte Grappa<\/strong> offer pure riding pleasure while honoring the fallen of the Great War\u2014a tribute the Giro famously paid during its 100th edition in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
