We already know the complete profiles of the three grand tours of cycling for 2023. Today we remind you of the dates of the main stages of the Giro d'Italia, Tour de France and Vuelta a España. 3 days not to be missed for cycling lovers.
Giro d'Italia - May 24
Stage 19: Longarone - Tre Cime di Lavaredo, 182 kilometers
Giro d'Italia 2023 Stage 19: Longarone - Tre Cime di Lavaredo, 182 kilometers
The queen stage of the Giro d'Italia will head into the Dolomites, on a day that has been affected by the weather in the past, especially in 2013. It could very likely be the return of Tre Cime di Lavaredo to the Giro d'Italia.
This should see the combination of Passo Campolongo, Passo Valparola, Passo Giau and Passo Tre Croci beforehand. All of these will be ridden at high altitude, and the Passo Giau should be an incredibly tough climb with almost 10 kilometers at 10%. The summit finish, however, will take place at over 2300 meters altitude, with 4 kilometers at 11%.
Tour de France - July 19
Stage 17: Saint-Gervais Mont Blanc - Courchevel, 166 km
Tour de France 2023 Stage 17: Saint-Gervais Mont Blanc - Courchevel, 166 km
The queen high mountain stage of the 2023 Tour de France features 5000 meters of elevation gain and four very tough climbs during the 166 km stage: Col des Saisles (13.3 km at 5.3%), Cornet de Roselend (19.9 km at 6%, Cöte de Longefoy (6.6 km at 7.6%) and the terrible final climb to the Col de la Loze (28.4 km at 6%). The summit will be reached 6.5 km from the finish in Courchevel, which will be reached after a fast descent.
Vuelta a Espana - September 8
Stage 13: Formigal - Col du Tourmalet, 134.7 km
Vuelta a Espana 2023 Stage 13: Formigal - Col du Tourmalet, 134.7 km
The queen stage was one of the most rumored and it turned out to be exactly as expected, as the race heads into the Pyrenees, with a mammoth mountain stage. Not because of its size, as it stretches over just 134 kilometers, but because of its constant climbs and descents. The riders will climb the Col d'Aubisque and the Col de Spandelles, which are separately very tough climbs, before the summit finish on the Col du Tourmalet, above 2000 meters.
