    Perhaps the most famous monument in Italy among those dedicated to cyclists, the Fausto Coppi stele on the Pordoi pass is a true icon of the Giro d'Italie and of world cycling. Placed in July 2000 by the municipality of Canazei, it features the following inscription: "In the shadow of the majestic Dolomite peaks, this bronze will bear witness over time to the unparalleled exploits of the greatest cyclist. To Fausto Coppi, the Champion". Between 1940 and 1954, the Giro d'Italia passed through Pordoi eight times: the first on the summit was Coppi five times.

    A few stages of the Giro d'Italia have already passed over the Pordoijoch. That's what the memorial stands for
    Translated by
    The monument is in honor of the Italian cyclist Fausto Coppi, "il Campionissimo" ("World Champion of World Champions").

    In his honor, the Cima Coppi mountain classification has been awarded at the highest point of the Giro d'Italia since 1965. This climb offers the most points in the Giro's King of the Mountains competition. The Pordoi Pass has been the most frequently awarded climb.
