Giro d’Italia 2027 **Spoilers**

Lucky Lorenzo Fortunato won on the Zoncolan in 2021 (I think) but that was from the easier side

Definitely not a corsa for anyone who's explicitly aiming to complete a Giro-Tour double.

Looks more like they've decided to create a route true to their history and brand. I like it.

Turns out there's less climbing overall in the Jonas friendly Giro than in the Remco friendly TT-heavy Tour de France

Who'd a thunk it?

An excellent lesson in accumulative counting.
Less is not necessarily easier though.

No country for old men was my thought riding around the area but in terms of grandeur you got the money's worth. Never done the Zoncolan and don't intend to. Last ridden in 2018(?), won by Froome

I've done a lot of the iconic climbs and the only one I vowed never to repeat was the Zoncolan. (Mortirolo comes second).
And that was the "easy" side.

The likes of the Angliru and Mortirolo are ones to tick off rather than repeat. They're not pretty or enjoyable. Just a grind.
