    According to Gianni Brera's story in "The giant and the file", Tullio Campagnolo had the intuition that – as he is thought to have said in Vicenza dialect – «something must be changed from the air» on 4 November 1924 on the Croce d'Aune pass , during the Victory Grand Prix.



    Tullio Campagnolo, then a cyclist who ran without a team, as an independent, going up towards the Croce d'Aune he has several mechanical problems and is convinced that something must have changed. He will invent the ancestors of bicycle derailleurs which are still used all over the world.



    Today on the Croce d'Aune pass there is a monument dedicated to him, which recalls that moment. A minimal inscription reads: «Tullio Campagnolo – Inventor».

        The man, the myth, the legend. It was upon this hill Campagnolo was inspired to develop his rear derailleur gear changing system!
