Giro 2017 - Stage 17 Tirano – Canazei 219km
-
24-05-2017 6:55am#1
The stage is wavy, with a few technical climbs in the first part, such as Aprica and Passo del Tonale after the start from Tirano. A long drop then takes the peloton across the Val di Sole. The route goes up again in the second half: first comes the Giovo categorised summit, then comes a long false flat up, leading all the way to the finish in Canazei (already three times stage town). The route climbs slightly in the last 5 km, on wide and well-surfaced road, with just a very short descent 1,000 m before the finish. The home straight (450m) is on 6.5-m wide asphalt road.
A day for the Breakaway riders, as the GC men and their teams take it 'easy' ..

This is such an odd parcours with the categorised climbs towards the start of the stage and the really long false flat for the second half
On a completely random note, my first ski holiday was to Passo del Tonale a couple of years ago. It's a great spot and the scenery is beautiful!

That false flat looks like a brutal run in if you are tired.0 -

Rob Hatch discussing during yesterday's stage how he struggled up part of the Stelvio was quite amusing. As was the story about Smith and Kelly looking for a place to get a haircut. It helps to build up rapport and draws the audience closer, as well as filling up time during long days! 0 -

Pure and unadulterated objectification of women as a means to boost tourism. Disgusting.0 -
