Giro d'Italia 2016
The 99th edition of the Giro d'Italia takes place between 6 and 29 May 2016 and starts with a short individual time trial in Apeldoorn (Nl). There are 3 stages taking place on Dutch soil, 2 amongst them are sprinter stages. After stage 3, there will be a day of rest, during which the cyclists will be moving towards Italy.
The first arrival uphill is taking place during day 6, at the summit of the Bocca di Selva : a climb of 5km at an average of 7,3%. The first week ends with an individual time trial in the heart of the Chianti region.
The real focus of the Giro lies at the end of the second week : two heavy mountain stages and a climb time trial of 10,8 km towards Alpe di Siusi.
During the last week, we'll get 2 punchy mountain stages more, one with uphill arrival in France (Risoul).
