That of Grande Torino is a story that goes beyond the world of football and this is why the Giro d’Italia also joins the memory of the Invincibles. On 4 May 2024, on the 75th anniversary of the tragic death of the Grande Torino, the inaugural stage of the Giro d’Italia will pass near the Superga hill to pay homage to all those who lost their lives in that disaster.

The indissoluble bond between Toro and the Giro d’Italia starts from a friendship between the Grande Torino players and Fausto Coppi, one of the most successful Italian riders ever. Precisely in 1949, Coppi was the first to achieve a feat since then repeated only six times: winning the Giro d’Italia and the Tour de France in the same year, racing with a small Torino pennant sewn onto his shirt in honor of his friends that he had just lost.
