    Stage 11 has a similar profile as Stage 10, but the climbs aren’t nearly as steep. The first climb of the day, the Cat. 2 Sella Ciampigotto has an average gradient of just 4.4%, but it is almost a whopping 30km in length :eek: However, there is 55km from the summit to the start of the final climb, so if any GC contenders are in trouble they should have plenty of time to recover (and there is no rain forecast :P ). The final climb to Vajont is another Cat. 2, with an average gradient of 5.2%. It's worth noting that the gradient kicks up to 7% for 1.5km just before the final 400 metres, which are downhill.

    There's a good chance that the stage winner might come from the breakaway. If it does come down to the GC contenders to contest the stage, or even for any remaining bonifications, it's hard to look past Bentacur, Nibali and Evans for a sprint-y finish.
