{"product_id":"gavia-da-ponte-di-legno-1","title":"Gavia from Ponte di Legno","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eGavia Pass from Ponte di Legno\u003c\/strong\u003e is not just a climb; it's a frontier ascent, severe and solemn, that takes the cyclist into an increasingly rugged landscape where the woods open up, the air thins, and the mountain reigns supreme. One of the wildest passes in the \u003cstrong\u003eLombard Alps\u003c\/strong\u003e, where the road narrows to a path and the dark tunnel halfway up reminds you that civilization ends here before the summit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eFrom \u003cstrong\u003ePonte di Legno\u003c\/strong\u003e at 1,258 meters, the climb extends for approximately \u003cstrong\u003e17 kilometers\u003c\/strong\u003e up to the \u003cstrong\u003e2,621 meters of the pass\u003c\/strong\u003e, gaining \u003cstrong\u003e1,363 meters in elevation\u003c\/strong\u003e with an average gradient of \u003cstrong\u003e7.8%\u003c\/strong\u003e. The numbers already tell a story, but not the whole one: the toughest sections reach \u003cstrong\u003e16%\u003c\/strong\u003e, the roadway is often just wide enough for a single car, and above 2,000 meters, the wind changes mood without warning. It's a test of endurance and character, where every turn opens up a harsher landscape than the last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eGiro d'Italia\u003c\/strong\u003e wrote one of the most legendary pages in cycling history here. It was \u003cstrong\u003eJune 5, 1988\u003c\/strong\u003e: a snowstorm hit the race on the Gavia, with mud, ice, and polar temperatures. American \u003cstrong\u003eAndy Hampsten\u003c\/strong\u003e climbed through the storm and conquered the \u003cstrong\u003emaglia rosa\u003c\/strong\u003e, becoming the \u003cstrong\u003efirst American to wear it\u003c\/strong\u003e in the history of the Giro. \u003cstrong\u003eGazzetta dello Sport\u003c\/strong\u003e called that day «\u003cstrong\u003eThe day the giants cried\u003c\/strong\u003e». Since then, the Gavia is no longer just a pass: it's a legend.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HEROAD - Designed by Greatness","offers":[{"title":"Micro \/ dull pink","offer_id":52991053988178,"sku":null,"price":9.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pocket \/ dull pink","offer_id":52991054348626,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Original \/ dull pink","offer_id":52991054709074,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Original \/ dull orange","offer_id":52991054676306,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Original \/ matte blue","offer_id":52991054741842,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Original \/ dull green","offer_id":52991054774610,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Original \/ dull red","offer_id":52991054807378,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Original \/ shiny gold","offer_id":52991054840146,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Original \/ shiny silver","offer_id":52991054872914,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Original \/ polished bronze","offer_id":52991054905682,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Original \/ shiny blue","offer_id":52991054938450,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Original \/ glossy green","offer_id":52991054971218,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Original \/ marble","offer_id":52991055003986,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Big \/ dull pink","offer_id":52991055069522,"sku":null,"price":169.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Big \/ dull orange","offer_id":52991055036754,"sku":null,"price":169.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Big \/ matte blue","offer_id":52991055102290,"sku":null,"price":169.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Big \/ dull green","offer_id":52991055135058,"sku":null,"price":169.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Big \/ dull red","offer_id":52991055167826,"sku":null,"price":169.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Big \/ shiny gold","offer_id":52991055200594,"sku":null,"price":169.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Big \/ shiny silver","offer_id":52991055233362,"sku":null,"price":169.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Big \/ polished bronze","offer_id":52991055266130,"sku":null,"price":169.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Big \/ shiny blue","offer_id":52991055298898,"sku":null,"price":169.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Big \/ glossy green","offer_id":52991055331666,"sku":null,"price":169.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Big \/ marble","offer_id":52991055364434,"sku":null,"price":169.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0919\/6227\/8226\/files\/Gavia_nuovo-1.jpg?v=1776013054","url":"https:\/\/heroad.it\/en\/products\/gavia-da-ponte-di-legno-1","provider":"HEROAD - Designed by Greatness","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
