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!

Which climbs would you choose to tackle on your perfect Italian ride?
Mr Oliver Greyhound
Nice rides….
Cor blimey I wish I could climb like Ollie 😛
What month is this? 😍
The c64 looks a bit like the v4rs now. Hope the made in Italy badge is more.than just assembly and paint ?
Stuffy Little Racecar please
This video was a lot of fun! Anyone know why Campy isn't popular in the U.S. anymore? The riders I know use Shimano and SRAM.
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
When they say tarmac, they actually mean asphalt.
Cycling heaven for sure! For my money the Pordoi (in either direction) packs the most reward for effort by far.
Beautiful bikes. I miss my Colnago MX Lite Mapei edition. Great video
Can you gentlemen include the degree of gradient of the climbs that you undertake from your next video onwards?👍
Love this! I’m glad I’m not the only one scared and slow off-road!
Great video guys. Beautiful climbs. Hank and Ollie are a formidable duo. Love seeing them verbally sparring and duking it out on the road.
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
I was breathing heavy just watching you guys pedal up that!
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.
Cannot stop watching this fantastic episode
Why don't GCN riders wear track mitts? 🤔
Wow…just wow. Huge respect to Connor. That was an incredible job
