SHORT STAGE DESCRIPTION

Departing from Bolzano in the direction of San Giacomo and Laives, we travel along roads with little traffic as far as Ora, where the road climbs with several hairpin bends along a steep porphyry wall and then opens out onto a natural terrace. With a slight gradient we reach the Lugano Pass (border between South Tyrol and Trentino) and then descend to Cavalese, the main village of the Val di Fiemme Valley, and to Tesero. Here is the start of the timed section with finish at Alpe di Pampeago, identical to the last section of the 14th stage of the Giro d’Italia 2003, won by compatriot Gilberto Simoni. After a short break, the group descends at the feet of the Latemar mountains to Ponte Nova, where the route continues through the Val d’Ega valley. After arriving in Cardano, the last kilometres are covered in a relaxed manner until the arrival in the Fiera of Bolzano, where cyclists can expect a well-deserved lunch.
