We cover the founding myth (a snowstorm so brutal that only four riders finished), the giants who shaped the race (Coppi's 14-minute solo, Merckx's seven wins), how the course was redesigned piece by piece to keep the sprinters honest, and the modern editions that produced some of the most remarkable moments in one-day racing
