At 202km long, stage 17 from Cassano d’Adda to Andalo in Trentino, looks ideal for long-range attacks.

Initially flat for 55 kilometres, the route heads northeast towards the climbs of Passo dei Tre Termini and Cocca di Lodrino, before entering the Valle del Chiese on a steady and gradual ascent. After Tione di Trento, almost 152km in, the road narrows and becomes more technical leading to an uphill time bonus sprint on the slopes of Andalo-Lever which crests inside of 10 kilometres to go.

After a quick descent, the riders will face one last push to the finish line, with six uphill kilometres, followed by a slight downhill false flat into the final flat straight.
