The second week of the Giro d’Italia concludes Sunday with a 191km route that resembles the Giro di Lombardia, highlighted with the Valpiana coming inside 30km to go. With the second rest day on Monday, look for riders to go all-in.
Riders set off from Seregno to begin the day’s 3,600 metres of climbing across the Valcava, a serious 10 kilometres with an average gradient of 9%, and a pitch near the top at 17%. The actual approach begins just 26km from the start with 4km up to San Gregorio, and should set the stage for opportunists to steal away.
