Stage 10 could change the look of the Giro d'Italia, with a demanding finale. Starting in Lido di Camaiore, this long stage heads due north along SS1, the via Aurelia through Cinque Terre, over the Passo della Biscia where a break will surely go away, then more up and down to Genova, with a final ascent of 16.3 kilometres to the Santuario Nostra Signora Della Guardia. After over six hours in the saddle, this climb will separate the contenders from the pretenders in the 2007 Corsa Rosa.
