Who is this stage made for?
If a sprinter wants to triumph on this Giro, then the last good chance should be for it today. Because the terrain with the flat kilometers in the second part offers optimal sprint chances. But in the hilly intermediate part, an outlier group can also form, which, with good shape and a lot of lead, could also arrive first. Depending on the composition of this group, the teams will behave. So we will see this in the course of the race.

That is today’s task
Starting in Morbegno, the first 30 kilometers run flat and mostly along Lake Como. This is followed by a 7.6 kilometer climb that culminates in a mountain ranking of the second category. 17 kilometers and a sprint rating later there are points for the mountainers. A third category increase awaits before going into a longer descent. The third mountain has a length of nine kilometers and also includes a sprint rating. After the Red Bull kilometer at racing kilometers 87, no surprises are waiting. The area is getting flatter and the last third of the route lies like a flat stage in front of the drivers. In the destination Cesano Maderno, a 12.5 kilometer circuit is waiting for the drivers who have to be traveled twice.
