Giro d'Italia in South Tyrol
Region: Vinschgau
South Tyrol connoisseurs know: The steeper the routes and the more exhausting the climbs, the nicer the surrounding mountain scenery that pays for every exertion.
Probably also the organizers of the international cycle race Giro d’Italia agree about this.
Nearly every year the map of the legendary cycle tour through Italy includes a stage in the South Tyrolean mountains and almost every time the Giro d’Italia revalues its mountain program with a challenging stage in the South Tyrolean Dolomites, through other mountain regions or on famous mountain passes.
For instance in the last years the participants of the Giro had to reach several times the mountain top of Kronplatz and manage ascending slopes up to 24 %.
This year, the Giro d'Italia does not include this difficult distance, but the bikers have to tackle one demanding stage scheduled for 28th May 2020 in South Tyrol.
Details of the Giro d'Italia 2020 in Trentino South Tyrol:
- May 28th – stage 18 – 209 km: Pinzolo (TN) - Hofmahdjoch - Ultental - Vinschgau - Stilfserjoch - Laghi di Cancano
