How did all this year's entrants get on? I've heard of a few successful results. I greatly enjoyed riding the route independently over 10 days, and spoke to some of the riders that i saw on the route, including some on the Stelvio about to finish, though it was not the finish for me, as i started in Milan Malpensa. I didn't manage to avoid night riding completely, due to having a long day when I had to shelter from several thunderstorms, and went off route as i loaded the wrong garmin track...Hence that night I didn't make my planned hotel, and slept outside another near Susa on chairs. as it was too late to check-in. That actually helped me as i could start the climb of Colle delle Finestre before dawn, and before the heat of the day. most days it was 33C even late in the day, and a gilet was rarely needed on descents. the scenery was amazing, and the roue was a good mix of faster roads alongside cyclepaths, and some gravel sections. Earlier I particularly enjoyed Lake Como, where we took a ferry from Varenna to Bellagio, and the climb to Madonna to Ghisallo cyclists' chapel and museum.
