Final mountain stage of Giro d'Italia reportedly at risk because of heavy snowfalls in Alps

2018 Giro d'Italia: Chris Froome rides towards the lead on the Colle delle Finestre.

There is still just over a month to go before the Giro d'Italia reaches the most notable climb of the entire race, but a weather report in Italy suggests that it may be touch and go if the Giro can actually cross the key Colle delle Finestre pass because of recent heavy snowfalls.

The Finestre is considered the toughest single pass of the entire 2025 Giro and is due to be crossed on stage 20 on May 31 as part of a 203km ultra-mountainous trek through the Alps from Verres to Sestrière with 4,700 metres of vertical climbing.
