Stage 8 of the Giro d'Italia, the second summit finish in three days, is the first of three stages dedicated to the late Marco Pantani - who died in 2004 - in this year's race. The 179km starts in Foligno, also the host of the stage 7 finish, and ends in Montecopiolo. The stage will be the first real test for the GC riders at this year's corsa rosa.
