Course Preview
Stage 14 of the Giro d’Italia unfolds in and around the Aosta Valley. The riders tackle, in succession, the Col du Saint-Barthélemy and the climbs to Doues, Lin Noir and Verrogne before finishing uphill in Pila. The final ascent is 15.9 kilometres long and averages 7.3%.
After rolling out of Aosta, the riders head east through the valley, and it doesn't take long before they tackle the Col du Saint-Barthélemy. The 15.5 kilometres climb at 6.9% tops out at 1,627 metres.
The riders fly down into the valley, only to follow it now in the opposite direction. Once they return to the start town, the road climbs for 3.5 kilometres at 5.5% towards Roisan. The gradient eases for a moment before kicking up again on the ascent to Doues, which runs for 5.5 kilometres at an average of 6.5%.
The riders descend back towards Aosta — this time without actually entering the city — before the road turns uphill again on the Lin Noir: 7.5 kilometres at an average of 7.8%. The second half is the steepest, while the final 2 kilometres rise at a punishing 9.1%.
There is no real descent afterwards. The road briefly dips before continuing uphill to the day's highest point, Verrogne. That section is 5.4 kilometres long and averages 7.2%. As the Giro passes through the mountain village, just over 40 kilometres remain.
Again, the route drops down into the Aosta Valley, and after roughly 10 kilometres on the flat, the final climb opens on the other side of the valley. The climb to Pila is 15.9 kilometres long, with an average gradient of 7.3%.
Pila is a ski resort set on a high plateau, easily reached from Aosta via gondola. It offers stunning views, including a panorama of Mont Blanc. Get more details on cyclingstage.com.
