The design of the Stelvio Giro d'Italia 2024 jersey is inspired by the legendary ascent of the Stelvio Pass, one of the most iconic climbs of the Giro d'Italia, symbolizing the challenge and determination needed to conquer the toughest peaks. The jersey is designed to fit cyclists of all shapes and sizes perfectly, ensuring exceptional comfort and a neutral fit, a crucial element for those facing long days in the saddle.
The Stelvio Pass and the Giro d'Italia share a history rich in iconic moments, including epic battles featuring legendary cyclists like Fausto Coppi. A symbol of challenges and triumphs, the Stelvio Pass was the scene of the legendary duel between Coppi and Koblet in 1953, a story that embodies the essence of the sport of cycling: strategy, courage and unpredictability. This ascent, which culminates at 2757 meters, not only marked the apogee of Coppi's career, but has over the years become a pillar of cycling competitions, witness to memorable feats and a point of reference for athletes and enthusiasts alike.
Over the years, the Stelvio has continued to be the protagonist of unforgettable days at the Giro d'Italia, as witnessed by the victories of athletes such as Rohan Dennis in 2020 and Mikel Landa Meana in 2017, the latter on a stage marked by an inexplicable emergency that saw Tom Dumoulin honorably defend himself. Every ascent and descent of the Stelvio has helped forge the legend of this mountain, making it not only one of the Giro's most feared and respected challenges, but also a symbol of how passion and determination can overcome all obstacles, combining the history of the sport with contemporary challenges.
