The coming stages of the Giro d’Italia are expected to be held under good conditions, according to Weeronline. Monday is still a rest day, but the race will continue from Tuesday. In addition, the race will be on Italian territory for the first time after the first three stages took place in Hungary.

The peloton will start on Tuesday in Avola, in the southeast of Sicily. The race will then take place under dry conditions towards Mount Etna. The sun shines regularly, but occasionally clouds also pass over it. At the start of the stage it is about 20 degrees, at the finish on the volcano it is still about 14 degrees.
