Giro 2020: The queen stage leads through South Tyrol

The tour of Italy starts on May 9th in Budepast. After three stages in Hungary and 18 more across the boot state, from Sicily to the Alps, the Giro ends on May 31st in Milan.

From Ulten to Stelvio Pass The pink caravan will also roll through South Tyrol. Unlike in 2019, when Antholz served as the destination and Valdaora as the start, the Giro in Italy's northernmost province will not make a stop next season. On May 28th, the 18th and fourth last stage opens in Pinzolo (Trentino) and ends in Laghi di Cancano (Lombardy). The cycling aces will travel from Nonsberg via the Hofmahdjoch and the Ultental to Merano, from there they will then go to Prad and over the legendary Cima Coppi on the Stelvio to the Cancano lakes, which are just a few kilometers below at the top of the pass. This is the queen stage that could lead a climbing specialist towards overall Giro victory.

The big contenders for the triumph at Milan Cathedral include Richard Carapaz, the surprise winner of the Giro in 2019, and Vincenzo Nibali. Both have already given a non-binding commitment. Exceptional talent Peter Sagan, who will tackle both the Giro and the Tour in 2020, will also be there. It is the Slovakian star's first start at the Tour of Italy.
