If you enjoyed the coverage of the ride up the Gavia this year, you will also enjoy this video, of the 20th stage of the 1974 Giro, up the Tre Cime di Lavaredo:

Merckx is in pink but Fuente, Baronchelli, and Conti take some time out of him. Gimondi finishes behind Merckx in his World Champ jersey.

No plastic bikes, clicking shifters, or compact cranks then. They probably rode a 42-24 up that 16% grade. Those were real men.

Great Music, chatty british commentary, and no dang satellite signal breaking up. What a circus!
