2024 Giro d'Italia to have Monte Oropa summit finish on stage 2
CyclingMonday, 09 October 2023 at 14:00
The 2024 Giro d'Italia begins to take serious shape and quite a few details are already known. The route will officially be announced on the 13th of October and so only the final touches remain for race organizers. It is virtually confirmed that stage 2 will have a summit finish up Monte Oropa.
This is one of the most iconic climbs in Italy and most recently had a very iconic moment in modern Giro history when Tom Dumoulin soared to victory in 2017. The climb has also been used in Gran Piemonte, the Italian region will host the first three stages of the race.
The opening day of the Giro should be quite hilly and will be difficult - possibly already a treacherous day for the overall classification, it will end in Torino. If not however, stage 2 will certainly already create important gaps with the 11.8 kilometer-long at 6% which ends besides the sanctuary and a beautiful cobbled road.

- You continue to platform these two cheats. With that in mind I can no longer use your site. I know my leaving means little, but, sometimes you have to take a stand. See ya!DJ21-12-2024
- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024

- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024

- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
