Giro d'Italia 2010
The three week-race runs from May 9 through May 31, 2009 from Amsterdam (Holland)
And we are now proud to announce that Alta Valtellina will host the Giro again!
The expert say that the queen stage is saved the second last day > BORMIO > PASSO TONALE (178km)
The final climbing stage of the 2010 Giro runs between Bormio and Ponte di Legno Tonale and climbs five major passes. The riders will face the Forcola di Livigno, Passo di Eira, Passo di Foscagno, and the Passo di Gavia before reaching the finish at the summit of the Passo del Tonale. The Passo di Gavia is the Cima Coppi, the highest peak in this year’s race, and carries a prize for the first rider to cross the summit. The descent off the Gavia is a tricky one, and wet weather could make for a hard day of racing.

Bad legs on this stage would be disastrous for a Pink Jersey contender, and these final climbing stages should create a suspenseful finale for Italy’s grand tour. Certainly this hard stage of 178km that will decide the winner of the Giro d'Italia. (stephill.tv)
