A sprint stage? With some climbing mid-way this could resemble the race to Cosenza last week where Movistar got to work on cracking the sprinters only for Jhonatan Narvaez to profit but the pickings for the sprinters are running out so they really need a result today.
A trip along the coast with some tough climbs in the second half. Another day for Narvaez?
A fun stage awaits with a series of sharp climbs in the finish. This is what a Giro stage should look like, offering lively racing that is an expression of the land, scenery and architecture.
The first summit finish awaits. As long as you are patient because today’s stage is a marathon by modern grand tour standards at 246km so it will take some time before the riders tackle the slopes of the Blockhaus.
A sprint finish today. Hopefully it stays dry as the finish has some tight turns and polished pavé.
A good day for the breakaway with a hard stage and some cold weather returning to the Giro.
