After the longest stage of the Giro d’Italia, this Friday sprinters capable of surpassing the single port between San Remo and Cuneo, located in the first third of the total 150 km route, will have options. to dispute victory by sprint, or the adventurers parted with platoon approval. Among those who will not dispute this possible ‘volata’ is Australian Caleb Evans who has not started in the twelfth season. Van der Poel, Cavendish, Démare or Dainese have a new opportunity.
It was a relatively short transition phase of moderate difficulty with almost 1,450 meters of elevation increase, and a single difficulty, of category 3, the Colle di Nava (10 km at 6.7%), in the first phase, followed by the long travel the plains of Cuneo.
Along the Colle di Nava there are several illuminated tunnels, all of which are uphill. Once you get into the plains, there are still some traffic barriers in the city.
The arrival ‘bites’ slightly uphill and the last kilometers run into the heart of the Piedmont capital, with the usual roundabouts on wide, well -paved roads and straight roads. Once inside the old town, the last kilometer is 800 meters of cobblestone. The final straight is asphalt with an average gradient of approximately 2.5%.
The stage will begin at 1:20 pm and is scheduled to end around 5:15 pm
A good stage for Juan Pedro López (Trek Segafredo) to come out to defend the pink jersey one day, with 12 seconds ahead of Ecuadorian Richard Carapaz (Ineos) and Portuguese Joao Almeida (UAE Emirates) and 14 seconds against to Frenchman Romain Bardet (DSM). Mikel Landa (Bahrain Victorious), was seventh in 29 seconds.
