Eugene Oppelt Posted October 25, 2016 Author Posted October 25, 2016 The route of the 100th edition of the Giro d’Italia has been unveiled in Milan, with race organiser RCS Sport celebrating the history and culture of Italy as well as that of the Corsa Rosa and its most famous winners.
Eugene Oppelt Posted October 25, 2016 Author Posted October 25, 2016 In between, the 3,572km route will include many of the race’s iconic mountain climbs and visit all but four of the 21 Italian regions. As per tradition, the race visits the south first, with several stages for the sprinters, before heading north to the Alps and the then east to Dolomites, and then finishing in the shadow of the spectacular Milan Duomo in the heart of the city.

Eugene Oppelt Posted October 25, 2016 Author Posted October 25, 2016 Special mention: Stage 16 Arguably the queen stage of the race, it climbs the Stelvio TWICE ???????? starting and finishing in Bormio. Weather permitting, it will be the highest climb of the race at 2,758m, with riders descending the famous hairpins down to Prati allo Stelvio, then head into Switzerland to climb back up the Stelvio via the Umbrail Pass before the fast descent to Bormio.
