Dolomites Decider

The 2024 Giro d’Italia will most likely be decided in the Dolomites. We expect a spectacular and eventful, final week. Stage 17 sees a double ascent of the Brocon Pass. After two easier days, the penultimate stage features a double ascent of Monte Grappa, before a downhill and finish in the valley. Monte Grappa is very difficult at 18.2km and 8.1%. The riders will climb and descend the way they came up before climbing again. Monte Grappa will be the deciding stage in the battle for the pink jersey.
