Five victories in sixteen days of racing, a count that he took the time to complete before crossing the line as he was alone in the world: Tadej Pogacar is apart in this Giro. But before the victorious rise of the pink jersey towards Santa Cristina Val Gardena, long before, another hero distinguished himself far from there. A cyclist, wearing shorts, going up the Umbrail pass on its Swiss side to find a spot where to see the peloton pass. It was 10 a.m. and the boy was going to find himself in a lot of trouble. Not to get a place, there was absolutely no one on the side of the road, on either side of the summit. But to admire his idols. Because in the end they did not pass.
