Watching the final stage of the Giro d’Italia unfold was truly a special moment for FulGaz. As a proudly Australian-founded company, we love to see the amazing achievements of Aussie on the world stage.
In honour of Jai Hindley’s historic win at the Giro we’ve compiled a list of some of our favourite Italian rides on FulGaz. Enjoy! 🇮🇹

Monte Croce Carnico
The Passo Monte Croce Carnico starts near Paluzza (ITA) and ends right at the borderline to Austria. The climb is fairly flat and is very nice to ride. New tarmac! It was used in Giro d’Italia sometimes but never with a finish at the top. A lot of corners and short gallerys. Good panorama and views into the Carnic Alps.

New to FulGaz? Here's the quick start guide.
1. Download FulGaz and set up a free account
We offer new subscribers a 14-day free trial, no credit card required.
Downloading the trial gives you Full Access to FulGaz with no restrictions on content, or how often or how far you ride. If you’re returning to FulGaz for another go, send us a support ticket and we’ll hook you up with another trial on the house.
2. Connect your devices
When you load up FulGaz and hit Get Started, you’ll be greeted with a pairing screen. Here your smart bike/trainer/speed sensor will be picked up and listed. Select the devices you’d like to connect and click Let’s Ride.
Pro Tip If you can’t see your devices when trying to connect, they are most likely paired with another app (RGT, Rouvy, Zwift). You will need to deselect your trainer from that app’s pairing screen, quit that app, and restart FulGaz.
3. Set your preferences, weight and slope scaling
Click the settings icon to take a moment to set your display preference (metric or imperial). For the most realistic experience, enter your weight and bike weight. There are many other settings here also; it’s best to get a feel for riding FulGaz first before adjusting these. Start at around 60% uphill to get the feel. You can adjust this in ride also.
Pro Tip If you find the hills too hard, you can adjust the Slope Scaling, this is essentially the “trainer difficulty”. Adjusting this won’t make you faster, but it will make hills easier!
4. Download a video and ride
We always suggest downloading the video ahead of time. For any event you must download the video. Before the event, test your set up with something from the Easy collection. These rides will give you a good “feel” for how FulGaz looks and interacts with your trainer or smart bike.
5. Get event-ready
Before you start your event, make sure you turn up at the start line ready.
