Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The mountains
classification in the Giro d'Italia is a secondary classification. In
this classification, points are awarded to the leading riders over
designated climbs. Most climbs are sorted into one of three scales based
on difficulty and its position on that day's stage. Bonuses are given to
mountain top finishes and to the first riders over the Cima Coppi,
traditionally adjudged as the highest point of the entire Giro. The Cima
Coppi was established in 1965 to honour the Italian cycling champion
Fausto Coppi.
