Now, a full speed finish in the Giro before the decisive action of the weekend

After the relentless battle that took place yesterday, today the 107th edition of the Giro d’Italia faced with one of what we can define as the simplest phase of this year.

Cento finish line, trying not to get involved in any incidents on a day that will see acceleration in the two special sprints shared on the route.

The last few kilometers are mostly flat, except for the bridge over the Reno River, which is the only slope at the end. Several sweeping curves lead to the 450-meter finish line on 8-meter-wide asphalt. A perfect setting for the sprinters to show their category in one of the few opportunities left between now and the end of the race. Corsa Rosa in the city of Rome on May 26.
