Today is the day of rest. That's why the route is short. There were a few additional offers - like Mortirolo or Torre du Fraele - there were. But we turned them down in favor of the beautiful old town of Bormio. In contrast to yesterday, we practically go straight to the ascent to the Gavia, so warm-up takes place …

July 10, 2025,Passo Gavia da Bormio

It also coincided with the traffic closure for the Mapei Day... …

Today we only wanted to go up and down the Gavia for a short time, but then there was stumbling hail fog and thunderstorms, so I turned around 2 km before the pass.🙈
