  • The Giro leaves the Abruzzo region with a 216.5km stage from Vasto to Melfi. The majority of the stage is flat but there are two tough back-to-back climbs in the final 40km - Valico del Laghi di Monticchio (6.4km at 6.3%) and Valico La Croce (3.2km at 5.7%). Sprinters or attackers: who will prevail?

    Glad to see Pinot going for KOM classification rather than trying to aim for a potential GC result (at least at this stage in the race.) Comes with so much less pressure and I think he can shine without it, hoping he takes a stage win at the Tour later this year too!

      Same. Those maps give me little idea where or what direction in Italy they are going other than some kind of vague white splodge showing a region or two to give a very rough idea. Speaking as a cartographer, I’d score these 2/5 for helpfulness.

    Instead of ruining the result of the finish by saying who the winner is when they approach the line, the winner is usually announced at 200-500 meters to go.
    For the last kilometer or few hundred meters of the race just show the live audio and video, it’s more exciting to feel the energy and suspense of the live announcers instead the summary here telling you who the winner is before you show the sprint. I really cannot understand why you think the viewers would want the winner told to them in advance of watching it. SHOW us who won , wont TELL before.

    These type.of stages need to be removed from grand tours. Boring as hell and the pure sprinter is no longer a thing in the peloton as most sprinters these days are all rounders.
