Hoy, el #Giro d'Italia escala el Passo Fedaia. La Marmolada. El ‘cementerio de los campeones’, por tantas 'maglia rosa' perdidas en ella.

Ésta es la leyenda de un puerto mítico y definitorio, de eternas rectas y empinadas rampas, escenario de exhibiciones y traiciones. Image
Empecemos por aclarar términos:

La Marmolada es "la Reina de los Dolomitas": el macizo más alto de este bello sector de los Alpes. Está coronada por un glaciar sobrecogedor.

El Passo Fedaia es la carretera más elevada que escala La Marmolada. Culmina a 2057 metros de altitud.
🗨 “Nunca he pasado tanto miedo sobre la bici”.

Así recuerda Stephen Roche la ascensión de 1987. Venía de traicionar a su compañero Visentini para quitarle el liderato. Subiendo La Marmolada, los 'tifosi' le escupieron con la boca llena de vino para manchar su 'maglia rosa'.

I didn't believe it can happen this year but I'm glad it does: the 2020 Tour de France starts this Saturday! So I guess it's time to check the teams we'll see pedalling through France for the next 3 weeks. Incredible level alert! 🚨 #TDF2020
Total Direct Energie. Their best hope for a stage victory is the only non-French rider in the team, Niccolo Bonifazio. 😬 It sounds very unlikely to happen but Niccolo finished 3rd last year on Champs-Élysées and did some great sprints this year... #TDF2020
B&B Hotels-Vital Concept. They finally made it, this is their Tour de France debut! The team is built of course, around Bryan Coquard and Le Coq showed some great legs at the French Nats. He will be up there in the sprints but to win...difficult. (via @ProCyclingStats ) #tdf2020
