Gregg Bleakney Visual Storytelling

2011 Giro d' Italia Zoncolan

The Zoncolan had plenty of protest verbiage against the UCI's decision not to allow the Crostis descent. Local fans had dedicated hundreds of volunteer hours into putting up nets and padding to make the descent safer. The Giro also allegedly spent several hundred thousand Euros in a last-ditch effort to make the descent acceptable to the riders.
