The final battle for the maglia rosa will ignite on stage 19, the Dolomites epic from Feltre to Alleghe (Piani di Pezzè), where riders face a monstrous 5,000 metres of climbing over 155 kilometres.
Article continues belowAfter a nervous opening 46 kilometres, the peloton will tackle the brutal sequence of Passo Duran (max 14%), Coi (max 19%), Forcella Staulanza (max 10%), and Passo Giau (max 14%) with its 29 hairpins, this year’s Cima Coppi at 2,233 metres.
One more climb, Passo Falzarego (max 10%), before the riders face a fast descent to Alleghe, for the final short, vicious ramp to Pian di Pezzè, with gradients of up to 15%.
