From April 15th to 19th, the Tour of the Alps will dominate the cycling scene, serving as the paramount precursor to the Giro d'Italia. Over five challenging days in the breathtaking Alps, riders will navigate mountainous terrain, setting the stage for intense competition. Here's a preview of what lies ahead in this crucial race.
After four days of difficult racing, this final stage of the Tour of the Alps can still be very difficult. It's only 118 kilometers in distance but features two big climbs where the difference can be made.
The Palu del Fersina which is 12.5 kilometers long at 6.2%, ending with 51 and 26 kilometers to go and are separated only by it's own descent. There is still a hilltop before the ultimate finale in Levico Terme which is 2Km at 6% which will be the final opportunity to create the differences in the race.

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
