Monte Grappa is one of the symbolic mountains of great Italian cycling, and in 2017, during the 100th edition of the Giro d'Italia, it was the protagonist of one of the most intense stages of the pink race. In an edition fought to the last, six champions packed within just a minute and a half challenged each other on the tough Grappa ramps. Among them shone Vincenzo Nibali, nicknamed "the Shark," author of a performance that anticipated the final podium. Winning the Giro, however, was Dutchman Tom Dumoulin, dubbed "the Maastricht Butterfly," ahead of Colombian Nairo Quintana. Monte Grappa's climbs, including hairpin bends and spectacular views, enhanced the climbers' qualities and made this mountain a symbolic place of epic cycling and Giro history.
