The Maglia Nera, or black jersey is a lighthearted twist on the serious business of the Giro d’Italia, one of cycling’s three grand tours. Unlike the prestigious leader jerseys, this one goes to the cyclist with the slowest cumulative time, essentially, the last place finisher. Born in the 1940s, it was a fun nod to the race’s tradition of jersey awards. Riders who knew they weren’t podium contenders embraced the Maglia Nera as a badge of honor, symbolizing their determination to complete the grueling race. It’s not an official thing anymore, but the Maglia Nera is a quirky reminder of the gritty side of pro cycling, celebrating those who give it their all for the team, no matter the outcome. Now you know - Chapeau
