PREVIEW | Tour of the Alps 2023 stage 2

Preview. The Tour of the Alps is frequently the main lead-up race towards the Giro d'Italia, and on stage 2 the overall classification will be on a knife's edge once again. Tao Geoghegan Hart has taken a strong win on the opening day, but he now faces a more difficult challenge.

The second day of racing should see more differences. The finale will take place in Ritten, following three similar ascents. 5,1Km at 6.1%, 4.5Km at 7.8% and 6Km at 7.1% before the short explosive ramp into town where the riders will cross the line.
