BORMIO 1225MT > PASSO DELLO STELVIO 2758MT LENGTH KM 22,2 Download map & info on www.bikemap.net/route/809047 HEIGHT START 1215 MT The Stelvio Pass or Stilfserjoch, is one of the highest Alpine Passes of HEIGHT TOP 2758 MT Europe. The original road was built in 1820-1825 by the Austrian DIFFERENCE IN ALTITUDE 1543 MT Empire. Since then, the route has changed very little. AVARAGE GRADIENT 6,56% After the traffic light in Bormio's centre you arrive soon at the first MAX GRADIENT 13% switchback on the way to the Stelvio. Further on a few more turns follow, one of them being the junction to Valdidentro and Livigno. HARPINS 36 You carry on into the direction of the "Bagni Vecchi", the old thermal These are followed by a section with not too many curves, but some tunnels to cross, and soon after those you find yourself in front of the steepest part of the Stelvio road, to conquer by numerous switchbacks. In this stretch the maximum gradient will be reached, and you can admire the Braulio-Waterfalls. After having passed this uphill, you get to the Plateau "Pian de Grembo", where the road gets low running and leads through alpine meadows. At the end of this flat part, the last steep uphill to reach the Stelvio begins. And from here the top of the pass comes even in sight. Passing by the junction into the direction of the Umbrail Pass and Santa Maria, only a few kilometres and about 250 metres in altitude are left to reach the top of the Stelvio Pass. The last couple of km are the toughest so keep some energy in reserve! The road surface on this side is usually kept in good conditions. Have fun during you descent! (The pass is open only from the end of May till the beginning of November) Maps by: www.bikemap.net www.bikemap.net by: Maps Bike Hotel La Genzianella | Bormio | www.genzianella.com | tel. +39 0342 904485 .

Two climbs and two wonderful descents, ones the local cyclists love. A peak just shy of 2200 meters. An abundance of nature and giant white Dolomite mountain landscapes dominate our ride today. To warm our morning legs we start climbing gently along the heavily-wooded valley. Ahead stunning Dolomite mountain peaks watch over us: what a start to the day! Our hill climbing starts in earnest where the hairpins start. We are not competing for QOM’s or KOM’s, rather your attention will be drawn to the incredible changing landscape as we climb. Pine tree forests open to alpine meadows, before the landscape opens to reveal the pristine white Dolomite’s towering around us. The 360-degree views at the summit will leave you speechless, and offer the perfect moment to celebrate with a coffee to relax while you’re on top of the world.

Questions about a Champion "If a misdeed arises in the search for truth, it is better to exhume it rather than conceal the truth." Saint Jerome. "When I wake up in the morning, I can look in the mirror and say: yes, I'm clean. It's up to you to prove that I am guilty." Lance Armstrong, Liberation, July 24,2001. "To deal with it, the teams must be clear on ethics. Someone crosses the line? He doesn't have the right to a second chance!" Lance Armstrong, L'Equipe, April 28, 2004. Between the World Road Champion encountered in a Norwegian night club, who sipped a beer, talked candidly, laughed easily and never let the conversation falter, and the cyclist with a stem, closed face, who fended off the July crowd, protected by a bodyguard or behind the smoked glass of the team bus, ten years had passed. July 1993. In the garden of an old-fashioned hotel near Grenoble, I interviewed Armstrong for three hours. It was the first professional season for this easygoing, slightly cowboyish, and very ambitious Texan. I left with a twenty-five-page interview, the chapter of a future book11 was writing about the Tour de France. I also took with me a real admiration for this young man, whom I thought had a promising future in cycling. Eight years later, in the spring of 2001, another interview. But the Tour of 1998 had changed things. Scandals and revelations were running rampant in cycling. Would my admiration stand the test? In August 1993, it was a happy, carefree, eloquent Armstrong, whom Pierre Ballester, met the evening after he won the World Championship in Oslo.

On May 13, 1909, the Giro’s first peloton of 127 riders (41 of the enrollees didn’t show up) met at the Piazzale Loreto in downtown Milan where La Gazzetta’s offices Red Devil, were situated. The eight-stage race went from Milan to Bologna and onward to Chieti, Naples, Rome, Florence, Genoa and Turin, returning to Milan on the 30th. Riders would cover 2,445 kilometers over eight stages, an average stage length of 306 kilometers, the Fist, not far from the Tour’s average. This was to be the shortest Giro ever. It should be noted that in the early years of bike racing distances were approximate. The various lengths we have for the first Giro, 2408, 2448, and 2445 kilometers—each from a dif- ferent but respected Italian writer—are all within the expected and the range of accuracy of the age. To minimize cheating and confusion, each of the riders was King of Mud photographed at the start for later comparison by the judges. Just as in the first couple of editions of the Tour, the Giro would allow several days of recovery between each stage. The riders faced roads that could only be described as menacing, especially in economically disadvantaged southern Italy.
