VENTOUX
COLNAGO
CYCLING’S MOST FAMOUS MOUNTAIN HAS BEEN THE SCENE OF COUNTLESS ICONIC MOMENTS, AND AT THE 2021 TOUR IT WAS TACKLED TWICE IN THE SAME DAY. SO WE SET OUR RIDERS THE CHALLENGE OF COMPLETING ALL THREE ASCENTS IN A DAY, WHERE THEY WERE FACED WITH OVER 4000M OF CLIMBING, TORRENTIAL RAIN AND EVEN SNOW.
ERNESTO COLNAGO IS A LEGEND OF ITALIAN BICYCLE FRAME DESIGN. AND AT ALMOST 90, HE REMAINS THE HEART AND SOUL OF THE BRAND HE FOUNDED IN THE 1950S. HIS BIKES HAVE WON ALMOST EVERY RACE WITHIN THE SPORT. WE VISIT HIM IN MILAN AND ASK HIM TO PICK THE BIKES WHICH DEFINE THE COLNAGO LEGEND.
