12.04.2008/ The legendary Passo di Gavia is often part of the Giro d'Italia and his 2621 metres have marked more than once the Cima Coppi, the highest point of the race. The Gavia became a legend on June 5th in 1988 when stage 14 of the Giro passed the Passo in a merciless blizzard. The legendary stage was won by Dutch rider Erik Breukink, with American and later winner of this Giro Andy Hampsten in second place. Cyclingheroes will publish a series of interviews with (former) riders who climbed the Gavia at June 5, 1988. To get an idea about how bad the snow blizzard was you can watch a You Tube Video from the 1988 Gavia stage.
