Giro 2025 – Stage 1

The original plan for today would have been climbing something close to the apartment, or Monte Padrio.

As that already nearly destroyed me yesterday, I set out this morning for an easier stage.

Or so I thought…

After all, Torri di Fraele is not that difficult – on a good day.

And I didn’t have one of those but refused to admit it 🤐

Besides, the weather was not good, chilly and foggy, which meant none of the famous views…

While I was about to call it a day back down from the Torri, the weather cleared up and I decided to climb Bormio 2000.

I had set a target for that of 35 minutes some time ago but already changed that to 45 minutes.

In the end, I ended in the middle, which was a PR, but I think I will scrap all other targets and / or PR attempts.

Starting with tomorrow’s Stelvio – I’ll be happy if I can finish that within 2 hours.

Volkan is going to have a couple of field days next week…
