S+Giro in South Tyrol: Curiosities on and off the road

Val Gardena experienced a fascinating Giro stage on Tuesday in miserable weather. Despite the shortening (the start was in Eyrs) and despite the constant rain, people will remember May 21, 2024 for a long time when they later discuss cycling.

Early in the morning a flag made people sit up and take notice. On the day of the Giro stage to Val Gardena, a pink flag hung on the church tower of Ortisei. As is well known, pink is the distinctive color of the Tour of Italy. The message was clear: almost everyone in Val Gardena was happy about the arrival of the world's best professional cyclists.
