The Giro has done it again.
What sort of race runs 3.5 thousand kilometres over 3 weeks, and takes in 14 mountain stages, including 8 with mountain top finishes? The Giro d'Italia of course.
There are only 4 flat stages for the sprinters, 45 Km of Individual Time Trial and a 21Km Team Time Trial. Hardly worth packing the TT bike.
The big hills include Mt Etna (twice!), Monte Zoncolon, Passo Giau, (the Cima Coppi of the Tour) and then possibly the decider on Colle della Finestre. And of couse it wouldn't be a modern Giro without a bit of dirt...so the roads around Sestriere offer the challenge again.
