Giro d’Italia 2018 route: full details revealed including eight summit finishes and two time trials | Subscribe to Cycling Weekly here: https://www.youtube.com/user/CyclingW... • The​ ​Giro​ ​d’Italia 2018 route​ ​looks set to give the GC contenders a​ ​serious​ ​challenge​ ​with eight​ ​summit​ ​finishes​,​ ​including​ ​two​ ​major mountain​ ​days​ ​over​ ​Monte​ ​Zoncolan​ ​and​ ​the​ ​Colle​ ​delle​ ​Finestre. • In​ ​typical​ ​fashion​ ​for​ ​the​ ​Italian​ ​Grand​ ​Tour​ ​–​ ​or​ ​a​ ​good​ ​crime thriller​ ​–​ ​the​ ​suspense​ ​builds​ ​towards​ ​the​ ​final​ ​chapters. • Monte​ ​Zoncolan​ ​with​ ​its​ ​22%​ ​pitches​ ​conclude​ ​what​ ​the​ ​Italians call​ ​a​ ​tappone,​ ​a​ ​mammoth​ ​stage​ ​that​, ​in​ ​this​ ​instance, comes​ ​on​ ​the weekend​ ​before​ ​the​ ​final​ ​rest​ ​day,​ ​includes​ ​4000​ ​metres​ ​of climbing. • The​ ​Colle​ ​delle​ ​Finestre​ ​strikes​ ​a​ ​strong​ ​chord​ ​in​ ​cycling​ ​with​ ​its unique​ ​gravel​ ​road​ ​snaking​ ​upwards​ ​to​ ​2178​ ​meters.​ ​From​ ​the pass,​ ​the​ ​Giro​ ​organiser​ ​usually​ ​finishes ​with​ ​the smaller​ ​climb​ ​to​ ​Sestriere,​ ​but​ ​for​ ​2018​ ​they​ ​continue​ ​further​ ​to Bardonecchia​ ​and​ ​the​ ​7.25km​ ​climb​ ​to​ ​the​ ​Jafferau​ ​ski station.​ ​This​ ​tappone​ ​includes​ ​3500​ ​climbing​ ​metres,​ ​and​ ​given it’s​ ​deep​ ​in​ ​the​ ​Susa​ ​Valley,​ ​cyclists​ ​could​ ​see​ ​anything​ ​from Italian​ ​sun​ ​beams​ ​to​ ​driving​ ​snow. • Both​ ​the Zoncolan​ ​and​ ​Finestre​ are ​relatively​ recent additions ​to​ ​the​ ​Giro, which​ ​was contested for the 100th time​ ​in​ ​2017.​ ​The​ ​former​ ​premiered​ ​in 2003​ ​and​ ​the​ ​second​ ​in​ ​2005.​ ​Team​ ​Sky’s​ ​star,​ ​Chris Froome,​ has ​already​ ​ridden both in the last six months. • As expected, race​ ​organiser​ ​RCS​ ​Sport​ ​saves the most spectacular stages for last​ ​–​ ​the​ final ​week​ containing ​three​ ​consecutive​ ​summit finishes​ ​ahead​ ​of​ ​the​ ​final​ ​stage​ ​in​ ​Rome.​ ​ • After​ ​its​ ​start​ ​in​ ​Israel,​ ​the​ ​first​ ​Grand​ ​Tour​ to start ​outside​ ​of​ ​Europe​ ​with a​ ​9.7-km ​time​ ​trial​ ​and​ ​two​ ​flat​ ​stages,​ ​it​ ​continues steadily​ ​northwards​ ​from​ ​Sicily​ ​in​ ​the​ ​Italian​ ​boot.​ • The​ ​race​ ​will keep​ ​the​ fans’​ ​attention​ ​with​ ​early​ ​summit​ ​finishes​ ​up​ ​a never​ ​before​ ​used​ ​Mount​ ​Etna​ ascent ​(on stage​ ​six),​ ​and​ ​at​ ​the​ ​end​ ​of the​ ​first​ ​week,​ ​Montevergine​ ​di​ ​Mercogliano​ ​near​ ​Naples​ ​and Gran​ ​Sasso​ ​in​ ​the​ ​Abruzzo​ ​region​ ​(on stages​ ​eight ​and​ ​nine). • The​ ​second​ ​week,​ ​which​ ​could​ ​seem​ ​like​ ​the​ ​third​ ​with​ ​the​ ​Giro’s first​ ​phase​ ​in​ ​Israel​ ​and​ ​the​ ​second​ ​spanning​ ​Southern​ ​Italy, passes​ ​the​ ​Po​ ​Valley​ ​and​ ​enters​ ​the​ ​Alps​ ​along​ ​the​ ​border​ ​with Austria.​ • ​The​ ​dreamy​ ​landscapes​ ​provide​ ​the​ ​perfect​ ​scene​ ​for those​ ​classification​ ​cyclists​ ​with​ ​eyes​ ​on​ ​the​ ​Giro’s​ ​famous​ ​spiral trophy,​ ​now​ ​etched​ ​with​ ​100​ ​victors.​ ​ • Osmio​ ​counts​ ​as​ ​one​ ​of​ ​the eight​ ​summit​ ​finishes,​ ​but​ ​its​ ​short​ ​and​ ​steep​ ​finish​ ​near​ ​the hometown​ ​of​ ​Michele​ ​Scarponi,​ ​who​ ​died​ ​in a training crash​ ​April​ ​training,​ ​is better​ ​suited​ ​for​ ​your​ ​Diego​ ​Ulissis​ ​than​ ​your​ ​Chris​ ​Froomes​ ​or Tom​ ​Dumoulins. • More at: • Cycling Weekly: http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/ • Facebook:   / cyclingweekly   • Instagram:   / cyclingweeklymagazine   • Google+: https://plus.google.com/1035528902685... • Twitter:   / cyclingweekly   • Email: [email protected]
