Course Preview
Stage 17 of the Giro d’Italia is a hilly affair with over 3,200 metres of climbing. The riders cover 200 kilometres from Cassano d’Adda to the mountain village of Andalo, situated at 1,010 metres above sea level.
After the start in Cassano d’Adda - birthplace of the 1966 Giro winner Gianni Motta - the riders head across the flat terrain to Lake Iseo. They follow the southern shore before tackling the Passo dei Tre Termini, an 8.2-kilometre climb at 5.9%. After descending to the Mella Valley, they follow the river for a few kilometres upstream before facing the Cocca de Lodrino — 8.1 kilometres at 4.1%.
Upon reaching Nozza, the Giro heads roughly 35 kilometres upstream along the Chiese, which flows through part of Lake Idro, before climbing for 4.8 kilometres at 5% to Roncone. By the time they pass through the village, around 60 kilometres remain.
The route continues with a descent to Preone, followed by a gently rising false-flat section that, after Stenico, leads into a short 2-kilometre climb at 4.7%. A few kilometres of downhill follow before the road rises for 2.9 kilometres at 6.4% to San Lorenzo Dorsino. The route then undulates before steepening again — 3 kilometres at 6% — and finally continues on a false flat towards the finish in Andalo.
They’re not there yet, however. On the second passage through Andalo, 13 kilometres remain. This starts with another 3 kilometres of the same gentle rising terrain, followed by a descent to Cavedago. The final 5.7 kilometres climb at 3.1% to the finish in Andalo.
The Giro last visited Andalo in 2016, with Alejandro Valverde outsprinting Steven Kruijswijk on the line. Back then, the riders approached the Andalo finish from the north, coming down from the mountains. This time the approach is from the south, but the final kilometres are exactly the same.
