I’m very happy to confirm I have secured a spot in the 2025 edition of the Mapei Memorial Aldo Sassi, cycling a motorized traffic-free Stelvio 🥳
The Re Stelvio Mapei / Memorial Aldo Sassi is a classic, with some 3,000 enthusiasts, including runners and cyclists, both professionals and amateurs, like me.
It is a rare opportunity to climb this mighty pass stress free and I’ve enjoyed a “Mapei Day” before, back in 2011, on my birthday.
This year’s edition is on Sunday, July 13th. Given my Prologue on Friday, I’d better plan an easier stage on Saturday.
Maybe Bormio 2000 or another end of the breathtaking Torri di Fraele – the Turripiano ascent was in both the 2011 and the 2015 Giro d’Italia.
