When you think about cycling, Italy is a country that always stands out. The racing history, scenery and iconic brands all make it an epic place to ride your bike. We went to the Dolomites, the ultimate cycling destination, for a 120km dream ride over four legendary mountain passes: the Pordoi, Giau, Falzarego and Fedaia. This is Italy: GCN’s perfect ride!

    1. Beautiful. I wish I would have the chance to go somewhere like this one day, but there is no chance I'd get up those mountains haha

    2. Great video guys. Beautiful climbs. Hank and Ollie are a formidable duo. Love seeing them verbally sparring and duking it out on the road.

    3. Brilliant lads, it's a special place for sure, soaked in cycling history, i love the fact that you can be cycling in lovely hot dry conditions & then in the snow all within an hour or two

    4. A decade ago I spent a week in the Dolomites. I did all of the climbs in this video plus many more. And the Pordoi was my favorite of all of them. Best week of cycling of my life.
