Course Preview
Stage 15 of the Giro takes riders on a grueling 214-kilometer journey from Fiume Veneto to Asiago, with the formidable Monte Grappa as the centerpiece. The elevation gain totals roughly 4,000 meters.
Following a flat run-up and a false flat section, the day’s first climb is the Muro di Ca’ del Poggio. It is just 1.1 kilometers long but averages 12%, with a peak gradient of 16% – a real leg-breaker.
The day’s true monster appears about 80 kilometers later: the Monte Grappa. A staggering 25 kilometers long, with an average gradient of 5.8% that ramps up to 11%, this climb could reshape the GC standings.
But “could” is the key word. After cresting the Monte Grappa, riders still face 90 kilometers. First comes a descent nearly as lengthy as the climb itself, followed by 20 kilometers of flat valley roads leading to the next challenge: the climb to Dori. At 16.3 kilometers with an average gradient of 5.5%, it’s another test that could catch out tired legs.
Once over the top at Dori, there are still 18.5 kilometers to go. The route begins with a short descent, followed by a sharp 1.5-kilometer climb at 8.3%, before rolling terrain leads the way to the finish in Asiago.
Asiago was the scene of a dramatic finale in 2017, when Thibaut Pinot outfoxed his breakaway companions Ilnur Zakarin, Vincenzo Nibali, Domenico Pozzovivo, and Nairo Quintana to take the stage win. Tom Dumoulin, dropped on the final climb, limited his losses in the rolling finale with the help of Bauke Mollema and Bob Jungels, ultimately conceding just 15 seconds. The Dutchman slipped to fourth in the GC, but the following day, he turned the tables with a dominant ride in the final time trial to secure overall victory.
