I reflect on my final Giro d'Italia days, not wanting to waste one, but increasingly battling fatigue and age.

Running on fumes, I climbed Passo del Vivione, the last on my “100 Greatest” and like most others, not easy.

On the other end of the Valtellina Valley, Passo San Marco from Morbegno was another tough climb on the list.

Two more tough climbs on a both rainy and hot day: the Montecampione and Crocedomini, both summits on the “100 Greatest” list.

Türkiye - Hollanda on bike: epic rides including the Gavia, Stelvio and Foscagno: endurance and friendship across three unforgettable days.

Cycling the Foscagno Pass and Forte di Oga, with construction delays and a steep final on a quasi-rest day before Volkan's arrival tomorrow.

The Mapei Memorial Aldo Sassi ride up the iconic, car-free Stelvio Pass—cycling through fog and chill, with none of the usual views.

As Monte Padrio was ticked off the "Greatest 100" list yesterday already, an easier stage was my next option.

As my Giro d'Italia 2025 is rapidly approaching, my physical shape is nowhere near optimal.

This post is about the other stages in my Giro d'Italia 2025, prioritizing the climbs on the "100 Greatest" list.
