Final post on my Giro d’Italia 2025, with the stats and a reflection on how these "grand tours" seem to be less and less within my capabilities.

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.

Passo San Marco in Valtellina: a challenging 26 km climb, tough gradients, and some rewarding views.

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