2021 Giro Virtuale Ride Report 210602 Giro d’Italia Virtuale 2021 had not given much thought to a 2021 Giro d’Italia Virtuale until I was contacted out of the blue via LinkedIn the week before the real Giro I started. “Are you the Pike Talbert who created the Fulgaz Giro d'Italia Virtuale last year at https://fulgaz.com/my-giro-ditalia-virtuale-pike- talbert?” his note began. “If so, I'm wondering if you were going to curate a version 2.0 for the 2021 Giro?” That was all the inspiration I needed! A week later: Tahdah! An initial draft was complete: 21 stages utilising 20 FulGaz rides, 14 of which were new this year—either recently released by FulGaz, or recently discovered by moi. Several iterations later the final version was complete. The Table below provides a comparative Summary. A couple of background comments are worth highlighting: • My Giro last year was mostly about climbing as many of the famous and iconic mountain passes as possible. I have discovered the hard way that this is actually boring (not to mention painful). It turns out that flatter, rolling stages usually contain better scenery—a “smell the roses” approach that favours vistas and seeing more of Italy’s natural beauty over elevation gain and degree of difficulty. Thus, I have inserted more flatter and rolling stages. • Most of the rides I have eliminated in favour of the new ones are longer climbs (i.e., greater than 90 minutes based on videographer time and 3 of the 4 Stelvio-related ascents). It is for this reason that the total time is nearly an hour less than last year. Therefore this year’s Giro Vituale (GV21) is shorter timewise and somewhat easier by design. • Three of my GV21’s climbs—Monte Zoncolan, Passo Pordoi and Passo Giau—feature prominently in the real Giro. I have tried where possible to insert them so that they coincide virtually with the real Giro. 1 Giro d’Italia Virtuale 2021 • Finally, many of last year’s stages were “geographically out of order”. This year I have tried to link them together in a more logical and sequential route. I have been able to do this with 13 stages, which link to form 4 geographical sequences: 1. Stages 2 and 3 in the Dolomites, 2. Stages 5 and 6 also in the Dolomites, 3. Stages 8 and 9, which is the Sella Ronda in the Dolomites, and 4. Stages14 through 20 that transition from the Dolomites to the SudTyrol.1 A Summary of this year’s Giro, and a comparison to last year’s is provided below: 2020 2021 Km/m No. Km/m No. Change No. Stages 20 21 1 Distance (km) 416.2 441.7 25.5 El.

As a practical matter the only thing different about the 7 rides retained from last year is my view: I traded my garage (and a street view) for a terrace (with a view of Sydney Harbour and a Large Screen TV). 1 I discovered a great FulGaz tool for facilitating this: FulGaz’s World Map. 2 Giro d’Italia Virtuale 2021 Overview: The first 2 Stages of this 2021 Giro Virtuale are located in the Piedmont Region in Italy’s northwest. The next 8 Stages before the first Rest Day are in the Dolomites and concentrate on the 7 climbs that make up the Maratona dles Dolomites. The 6 Stages that comprise the week between the two Rest days are predominately in the Southern Tyrol region. The climb of Monte Zoncolan is the exception. Located in the Friuli Venezia Giulia region, it is inserted in the middle of this sequence so as to coincide with the real Giro’s ascent of the same climb. That is the beauty of virtuality: transportation is not an issue.! Selected Regions of Northern Italy Stages 18 – 20 Dolomites: Stages 3 – 10 SudTyrol: Stages 13 – 21 Stages 11, 12, 14 – 17 Stages 1 – 2 The final week contains only 5 Stages, although Stage 17 has an A and a B segment. This Stage serves as a transition from the SudTyrol west to the Lombardia region where a tryptic of neighbouring climbs capstone the week: the Passo Foscagno (el. 22291m), the Passo Gavia (2621m) and the Passo Stelvio (2757m). In contrast to the real Giro’s conclusion in Milan, I will finish in the beautiful town of Trieste in the Friuli Venezia Giulia region of Italy’s east. Stage 1: Col du Mont Cenis—My Grande Partenza reprised the Col du Mont Cenis from last year. This is a scenic ride that starts in the Piedmont region of Italy and climbs into France. Beginning with an ascent of La Grande Croix, most of the ride is alongside a damned lake until the Col du Mont Cenis is reached at the very end. Mont Cenis is a massif and a pass in the Savoie region of France. It was once again a very attractive and not too demanding parcours on which to start. Stage 2: Colle delle Finestre—The first new ride of the Tour and it was a completely different experience from the preceding Stage. There was nothing benign about this parcours. Tucked away in the top-left-hand corner of Italy, just over the border from France in the region of Piedmont, Colle delle Finestre is in the Cottian Alps. About 50km west of Turin, it’s an area of 3 Giro d’Italia Virtuale 2021 lush greenery and orderly vineyards, peppered with pretty farms and elegant towns. The Giro has visited these slopes on three occasions. The first time was in 2005 on Stage 10 when the first man over the summit was the Italian, Danilo Di Luca. Six years later, in 2011, the summit leader was the Belarusian rider Vasil Kiryienka. The latest inclusion was in 2015 when Spain’s Mikel Landa managed to drop Alberto Contador on the climb to cross the summit at the head of the field. The Finestre is often paired with the ascent to the ski resort of Sestriere. The gradient on the Finestre barely wavered during its 18.2 kms, hovering between 9% and 10% all the way. The first section of the climb wandered past fields and stone farmhouses, winding its way through Meana di Susa where a large billboard celebrates the occasions that the Giro d’Italia has blasted through the village. Farther along, the road was hemmed in by the dense forest. These woods cover the lower slopes, which made it difficult to get any sense of the progress I was making or where the road was heading. Every corner simply revealed another short stretch of tarmac leading inexorably upwards to another, strikingly similar corner. The most visible feature differentiating Finestre from rides last year is the road surface. Although the first 11km of the climb take place on pristine tarmac, the final 8ks are on rough gravel. Therefore, it is the closest I will get to experiencing the real Giro’s strade sterrate sections in Tuscany. 4 Giro d’Italia Virtuale 2021 Eventually I emerged from the tree line and was greeted with expansive views back towards the snow-brushed mountains on the other side of the Susa Valley and across to a towering peak, the Roche Melon that guards the border with France. As rewarding as this view was, the summit was an interminably 10 long minutes away. The scene above greeted me at the summit. The surreal yet ethereal beauty of the clouds shrouding the top of Finestre and the lone cyclist waiting by the summit’s monument was an amazing conclusion to an awesome climb. Preview of The Dolomites: The remainder of this first section of the GV21—Stages 3 through 10—take place in the Dolomites, one of the world’s iconic sporting playgrounds. 5 Giro d’Italia Virtuale 2021 Located in the northeastern part of Italy (in the Trentino Alto Adige Region north of Veneto, Venice), the Dolomites, like many ski resorts around the world, are a year-round mecca featuring skiing in the winter months and cycling of many descriptions during the warmer weather. The Dolomites are home to two major amateur cycling events held every summer: the shorter Sella Ronda (comprised of 4 climbs which are also skied in winter: Pordoi, Sella, Gardena and Campolongo), and the longer, all-encompassing Maratona dles Dolomites, comprised of the Sella Ronda plus 3 additional climbs—Giau, Valparolo and Falzarego) and a sting in the tail: the Mur dl Giat, the profile of which is shown below.

  • Campitello/Canazei – Lagazoui Ski Safari
    Campitello/Canazei – Lagazoui ski safari Easy Medium Hard Day 1 : Lagazoui via Armentarola. Easy It is recommended that you get a Sella Ronda map from the lift office before you leave as it covers nearly all of the route. From Campitello or Canazei head to Arabba and then on to Alta Badia following the Sella Ronda route. From the Campolongo Pass, branch off from the Sella Ronda route and take the lift to Cherz and then follow the signs for Pralongia and then for Armentarola. The turn off the Armentarola is easy to miss on the right hand side just after the Saraghes Rifugio. From Armentarola you need to take a taxi to the Falzarago Pass (10 mins and 5 euro). Take the cable car to the top of the mountain where you will find the rifugio – check in to the rifugio and leave your packs here for the afternoon. From the cable car you can ski the front face of Lagazoui, back down to the Falzarago pass. Do not ski the Armentarola piste which branches off to the left, otherwise you will have to take the taxi back up to the pass. Just before the bottom of the piste there is a turn off for the Col Galena and Cinqui Torre ski areas. This is a great area to explore in the afternoon – you should leave yourself 2-3 hours for this. Make sure you check the times for the return buses to the top of the pass – remember if you miss the last cable car, you miss your accommodation for the night.

  • Campitello – 5 Day Ski Itinerary
    Campitello – 5 Day Ski Itinerary Easy Medium Hard Day 1: The Local Fields - Grade: From either Campitello or Canazei ski lifts explore the local ski areas of Col Rodella (Campitello) and Belvedere (Canazei). Both fields offer intermediate terrain with a few steep sections that are easy to see. There are some wonderful long runs with the best being the run to the valley from the cable car at Col Rodella. You can ski to the village of Canazei from both fields. If you want to follow the sun, it is best to ski Col Rodella in the morning and Belvedere in the afternoon. Both ski areas are connected by a telecabine (lift numbers 155 and 105) and so access is easy. Highlights The skiing: From Belvedere make sure you ski down to the Pordoi pass and take the lift to Sass Pordoi for a spectacular view of the dolomites. Sass Pordoi featured in the film Cliff Hanger. You should not ski down from here – all of the runs from the top are off piste, unpatrolled and extremely dangerous. Take the cable car back down and ski. Eating: There are a number of great places to eat on the mountain. Our favourites are Tita Piaz and Ciampolin at Belvedere and Rifugio Des Alpes and Salei on Col Rodella. Stop before 1pm to beat the crowds – Italians religiously stop for lunch at this time. Apres Ski: The round bar at Des Alpes in the afternoon. If you're skiing back to Canazei, make sure you leave before the slopes close. Day 2: Ski Val Gardena - Grade: Val Gardena – the home of the world cup downhill piste is also an easy first tour from the Fassa Valley.

  • Bumble Bees of the Susa Valley (Hymenoptera Apidae)
    Bulletin of Insectology 63 (1): 137-152, 2010 ISSN 1721-8861 Bumble bees of the Susa Valley (Hymenoptera Apidae) Aulo MANINO, Augusto PATETTA, Giulia BOGLIETTI, Marco PORPORATO Di.Va.P.R.A. - Entomologia e Zoologia applicate all’Ambiente “Carlo Vidano”, Università di Torino, Grugliasco, Italy Abstract A survey of bumble bees (Bombus Latreille) of the Susa Valley was conducted at 124 locations between 340 and 3,130 m a.s.l. representative of the whole territory, which lies within the Cottian Central Alps, the Northern Cottian Alps, and the South-eastern Graian Alps. Altogether 1,102 specimens were collected and determined (180 queens, 227 males, and 695 workers) belonging to 30 species - two of which are represented by two subspecies - which account for 70% of those known in Italy, demonstrating the particular value of the area examined with regard to environmental quality and biodiversity.

    NORDITALIEN • NORTHERN ITALY 5 VORWORT „Lass uns doch mal über die Dolomiten bis runter nach Venedig fahren!“ – Für alle Soulful Driver ist das ein emotionaler Schlüs- selsatz, bei dem sofort alle Synapsen pure Freude funken.

Kurvensatt. Positiv geladen. Wir können davon nicht genug bekommen. Und des- halb: „Lass uns doch mal ...“ — “Let’s drive over the Dolomites and down to Venice!” For all “Soulful Drivers”, this is an emotional key phrase which im- mediately sets off fireworks of pure joy in every synapse.

One moment you find yourself in an intense duel with the switchbacks of the Stelvio Pass – and the next minute you’re cruising over the wide, simmering plains down to the Mediterranean. Happy. Curve-satiated. Positively charged. We simply can’t get enough of it. And so: “Let’s drive...” SELLAJOCH 30 ÖSTERREICH ÖSTERREICH 31 VALPAROLAPASS NORDITALIEN • NORTHERN ITALY 45 PONTE DI LEGNO STERZING GAVIAPASS (2652 M) STILFSER JOCH (2757 M) TIMMELSJOCH (2474 M) JAUFENPASS (2094 M) 260 KM • 7 STUNDEN // 162 MILES • 7 HOURS Lago di Como.
