Following a full day of steady climbs, stage 17 should bring a quieter day for the GC favourites and opportunities for the sprinters with a full downhill of 192 kilometres from Pergine Valsugana to Caorle. The profile indeed confirms there are no “topographical impediments”, as Giro organisers point out, and is the flattest stage of this Grand Tour.
