Famous Mortirolo Pass expected to come back at Giro d'Italia Women 2025 after nearly a decade of absence

The Giro d'Italia Women's route has yet to be officially announced, but one stage seems certain: Aprica will host the finish of one of the Giro's stages in 2025. That means the Mortirolo should return to the Giro d'Italia Women itinerary after a nine-year absence.
Aprica is a village near the Mortirolo Pass. Usually, an arrival in Aprica means that the Mortirolo has to be climbed beforehand. This also happened in the 2022 Giro d'Italia and the 2020 U23 Giro. The last time the Mortirolo was part of the route of the women's Giro was in 2016, when Mara Abbott won the stage. Marianne Vos won a stage that went over this climb all the way back in 2011.
Sondrio province president Davide Menegola told La Gazzetta Dello Sport that the information is still not final, with only formal confirmation missing: "But I think I can say with great certainty that Aprica will also be involved in the 2025 Giro d'Italia for women as a stage destination," Menegola said.

But it's no poisonous since you breathe it everyday. You get too much water in your lungs and you ALSO die of asphyxiation. But tell me, other than bonding with hemoglobin what is deadly about carbon monoxide?Sweep13-11-2024
- No, it's not poisonous. You breath it in every single day of your life. If you live in a dense city you breath in 10X what a rural person breathes. It kills you by asphyxiation. You breathe in water and it also kills you by asphyxiation. Poisoning is a misnomer. You drink too much water and that kills you also. Is water poisonous?Sweep13-11-2024
- Different eras, different equipment, wildly different training with nearly robot-like nutrition requirements, and so on. The thing you can compare is the relative success of riders against their rivals. Maybe it’s fine to just say they stand above the rest of their generation, and be happy with that.RidesHills13-11-2024

- Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that is poisonous and flammable. It is produced when carbon-containing fuels like gasoline, natural gas, or wood are not completely burned. CO is a common hazard in the home and the leading cause of poisoning deaths in the United States.awp13-11-2024
