23 Days Of Italia - Day 22

Stage 20 is the last big day in the mountains, finishing with the climb up the iconic Sestriere. Before that though the riders will tackle the 18 km 9% climb up the Colle delle Finistre (the last 8km of which are dirt road), this year's Cima Coppi, the symbolic name given to the race's highest point in honour of Fausto Coppi.


The 'Coppi museum', more correctly the museo dei campionissimi; the museum of champions.

Although a section of the museum is dedicated to Fausto Coppi as well as Constante Girardengo, who both hailed from the Novi Ligure area, the museum honours many great Italian champions (both male and female), and contains exhibits of all types relating to cycling.
