+1 ...especially if the convoy driving at 70 km/h on a long downhill part is passed by a cyclist who's tired of life, riding downhill like a boss (merely standing on the bicycle pedals for minutes).

Here it is: leaving "Flies Valley" for the final Stelvio approach from the Bormio side, followed by a Stelvio downhill run (uh, trailing behind a van) with rain drops gently starting to trickle down:
  • 03:34-05:18: a fine sequence of tunnels (the flatbed truck leaving the first tunnel carries a 911 Turbo)
  • from 09:40 onwards: "The Long And Winding Road..."
  • 21:13-21:15 + 24:32-24:36: hear the thunder rumbling in the Stelvio valley, just to add some drama to the experience.
