Riders in the Giroroad.cc Quiz Corner - What do these Giro d'Italia words and phrases mean?
So, how's your Italian? Take on our quiz to see if you can tell us what these Italian cycling phrases and words mean.
We all like to think we know a thing or two about the Giro, but even to the die-hard fan, this Grand Tour still holds a few secrets.
But while we hear many French words in cycling, like peloton, derailleur and echelon, we don't hear so many Italian words. This quiz might cause quite a bit of head-scratching.
But give it a go and let us know how you get on in the comments below. Will you soar away from the bunch like Pantani? Or crash down onto the tarmac, your Maglia Rosa in tatters?
