Course Preview
A tough summit finish awaits the peloton after a full mountain stage. The route briefly travels up the Valdastico and climbs up the right side of the valley, through Tonezza del Cimone, up to Forcella Valbona. The climb is very long, with steady gradients and several short tunnels along the way, with excellent visibility. After a long descent leading all the way to Calliano, the route takes in the Monte Bondone climb coming from Aldeno (20 km with avg. 6.8% and 15% max. gradients). The stage then descends into Sarche, clears the Passo Durone, and reaches Terme di Comano and Tione di Trento. The road goes up again, starting with a false flat until Pinzolo, and then climbing with 6% avg. gradients until the final 3 km before Madonna di Campiglio.
In Carisolo, the road begins to climb steadily around 6.5% for 12.5 km. The route flattens out over the last 2 km, after entering the urban area through a short artificial tunnel. The finish line lies on a 650 m long, 6.5 m wide, well-paved tarmac home stretch.
