Good news for fans of insanely hard climbing stages. Report here.

Christ that sounds savage, really must get over to try some of those Italian mountains.

Race organiser RCS Sport will present the full Zoncolan stage details and the official route of the 93rd Giro d'Italia later this year. The race, May 8 to 30, starts with three stages based around Amsterdam, Netherlands, before transferring to Italy.

Maybe the organisers are trying to make up for what will probably be a bit of a tame opening. I hope they use stelvio as well, that looks awesome on telly.

The Giro always has the toughest climbs and this is one is a beast, hope the weather permits. Mind you a TT up the Tourmalet should be fun next July if it is included.

Fantastic, was thinking about this very climb just a few days ago!

I don't think I've seen so many suffer on a climb in recent years as much as in the 07 Giro, it was a brilliant stage.
