Giro d'Italia 2018 stage 16: Trento – Rovereto 34.2 km ITT

STAGE 16: Trento – Rovereto 34.2 km ITT

May 22nd




Technical Overview:
The final ITT of the Giro comes after the final rest day, and it's quite an average one. Surprisingly, it is not sponsored by a wine, for the first time since 2013. From Trento, each rider will head south along the Adige River, for what is mostly a flat time trial. It is divided into three time sectors: the first, pan flat, ends in Aldeno at km 12.7. The second is mostly similar to the first, but features the only difficulty of the route, that comes at km 24, just before the time split in Nogaredo, but even if it looks like a wall on the profile, it doesn't reach 5% and it's around 1 km long. Nothing much. Finally, the third sector has some rolling terrain and a few tricky turns, but it shouldn't matter much. An ITT for pure specialists.

Final km


What to Expect:
A 40' solo effort, consistent gaps between the specialists and the pure climbers.
