A hundred-year-old yet contemporary story. A story of Road Giants and a Martian who is trying to rewrite much of cycling history in his own handwriting. Ottavio and Tadej, Bottecchia and Pogacar, the bricklayer from San Martino di Colle Umberto and the young boy from Komenda, united and divided by a feat distant yet close.

Ottavio Bottecchia, a French hero in a French jersey in the 1924 and 1925 editions. A hundred years later, it's the turn of this contemporary young boy who is leading us into another dimension, his own, which smells of glory and feats that have no time constraints.

At San Martino di Colle Umberto where the museum stands narrating the story and mystery of one of the most winning cyclists in Italian history, president Tiziana Gottardi dreams of doing the same after meeting Christian Prudhomme, Tour de France director general, a year ago, with the world champion and number one in world cycling.

It's a dream, exactly like those that animated Ottavio Bottecchia and now nourish Tadej Pogacar.
