Giro d’Italia, today’s stage from Diamante to Potenza: route altimetry, favorites and TV timetables

The stage

It crosses the Lucanian Apennines and the start along the sea is the only flat part. After Maratea the sequence of roughness, more or less demanding, is uninterrupted. You climb the Colla pass that leads to Lauria where you face Monte Sirino (25 km at an average of 3.8%: here Rebellin won in 1996); from Viggiano you climb the short and demanding Montagna Grande di Viggiano, finally the last climb, Sellata, to reach Potenza. Lots of curves for a tricky stage where there is no plain. Beware of escape: on these roads Vittorio Adorni built the triumph in the 1965 Giro.

The favorites

Many curves, pitfalls and pitfalls: stage for big names and forwards like Valverde, Nibali and Formolo.
