Preview. The
Tour of the Alps delivers five mountain stages for the riders in the run-up for the Giro d'Italia.
Tao Geoghegan Hart has won the opening two days, but will find his most difficult challenge to date in what can be termed the queen stage.
Stage 3 will be the high mountain day. A descent start, it will then see the riders climb Lago di Cei, 9.6 kilometers at 7.6% although it features much tougher gradients throughout, and then the final summit finish at the climb to San Valentino which features 15.2 kilometers at 7.6%.
Tour of the Alps stage 3 schedule: 10:00 - 14:16CET
