The third week of the Giro d'Italia is packed full of climbing, and four tough mountain stages, in what is being touted by many as 'the real Giro'. The GC has been taking shape the last two weeks, but the real battle is going to take place in the final week.
After a rest day on Monday, there's no easing into the final week, with Tuesday's stage 16 offering up an ultra challenging parcours, featuring 4,700m of elevation, four climbs – three of which are category 1 – and a summit finish on the San Valentino climb, which features gradients of up to 14%.
