'Dale Posted May 24, 2013 Share Giro d’Italia organisers have made plans to start the race’s 19th stage on an alternative route as wintry weather conditions continue to play havoc with the course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted May 24, 2013 Share However as road workers battled to clear snow and ice from both mountain passes amid fears the peloton could be forced to ride in temperatures as low as -14 degrees Celsius, an alternative course was announced. It will still start in Ponte di Legno but now take the peloton over the Tonale mountain pass (1,883m) with the second climb being the Passo Castrin (1,706m). The 22.4 km climb to Val Martello, which featured on the original stage profile, is the third and last climb on the stage and will host the stage finish. At 160 km long, the stage is 21 km longer than the original. However the two new mountain passes, on paper, appear easier than either the Gavia or the Stelvio.

'Dale Posted May 24, 2013 Share The zero isotherm, the altitude at which the air temperature is 0°C (32°F) will be below 2,000m. In fact the thermometer will be hanging around the freezing point at the start. Brrrrrrr GLuvsMtb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tombeej Posted May 24, 2013 Share In memorium of my favourite of them all - the Stelvio... "At 2757 metres (9045) feet, the Stelvio is the 5th highest paved road in Europe and 2nd highest paved mountain pass. In Italian, its full name is Passo dello Stelvio. Its German name is Stilfser Joch (it’s eastern side descends into the Italian but very germanic region of South Tyrol). The pass is perched high in the Southern Limestone Alps, almost touching the Swiss border. It is surrounded by high mountains, including the towering Ortler (fondly called König Ortler) at 3905 metres." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombeej Posted May 24, 2013 Share One of my favourite images of the pass - looking down at the mid section of the pass, and up to the start of the 40 switchbacks which lead finally to the top.... T-Bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
