technical info
Intense climbing stage with brutal amount of elevation gain despite its short distance. The route climbs from the start on the Passo Sella, followed by a flat section in the Fassa and Fiemme Valleys all the way to Predazzo. The peloton will then tackle the 19km Passo Rolle, then the shorter, third category Passo Gobbera. The 13.3km Brocon Pass comes for the first time (eastern side) with around 50km of the stage remaining, and the riders will pass it for a second time (south-western side) to finish the stage.
Last kilometres
The last kilometres are uphill. The steep part of the last KOM, with gradients of up to 10%, ends at 2 km to go, where the road flattens out to slightly over 5%. The last 500 metres are slightly uphill. The final straight is 100 m long and 6 m wide.
