The winner of the Giro d'Italia, Jai Hindley, paid a visit to the Ghisallo cycling museum atop the Madonna del Ghisallo climb and donated a signed pink jersey to the museum's collection.
Following his victory in Verona last Sunday, the Australian was on vacation in Como, Italy, and decided to pay a visit to the museum. "I was impressed by the wall of pink jerseys and so I thought I would bring mine too," Hindley told Tuttobiciweb.
Hindley's autographed maglia rosa currently hangs in the museum, beside Egan Bernal's 2021 race-winning jersey and below Gilberto Simoni's 2003 Saeco jersey. On Wednesday, Hindley shared a video of himself putting up his pink jersey on his Instagram account.
"With the experience of two years ago, I was a bit less nervous, I guess. But there was still a lot of tension there. I didn't want a repeat of 2020," he added, referring to his second-place two years ago. "To come so close to the win and then to lose it on the last day, it was brutal, if I'm honest. I've thought about that day for a long time out training. It's been a really big motivation, you could say."
