The last time Giro d’Italia visited Oropa was in 2017, when Tom Dumoulin won the stage en route to claiming his first, and only, Grand Tour.
The climb took on legendary status in 1999 when Marco Pantani, then the pink jersey wearer, had a mechanical on its early slopes and had to get off his bike. Having lost 45 seconds to the pack, ‘Il Pirata’ then bolted up the gradient, tagging and passing everyone to win the stage.

Here’s what’s in store for the peloton today. After a pair of category three climbs, the race will finish on the category one Santuario di Oropa – 11.7km at an average gradient of 6.2%.
It is, I think, the earliest summit finish in the race since 1989.
