June opens at the Giro d'Italia with a transition stage from Treviso, the hometown of Cicli Pinarello that heads due west on the flats, then up and over the Pasubio valley and the Pian delle Fugazze climb over to the Adige River valley, then over the Passo Ballino north of Lago di Garda to finish at the thermal resort of Comano Terme.
With the crucial time trial the next day, opportunistic riders who still have something in their legs will go on the attack in search of a Giro stage win.
