17th stage of the Giro d'Italia
The Giro d'Italia returns to tread the roads of the Cembra Valley
The famous men's professional cycling stage race that takes place annually along the Italian roads, is divided into 21 stages of which the 17th will cover the stretch from Ponte di Legno to Lavarone crossing our territory.
17th stage technical info: Mountain stage divided into two parts. Departure upwards towards Passo del Tonale followed by a stretch of over 70 km always substantially downhill. After crossing the Adige, the climb to Palù di Giovo (Moser fiefdom) is climbed, passing through the Mocheni Valley to reach Pergine Valsugana and the final which alone deserves all the difficulty stars of the stage. After Pergine you climb the Passo del Vetriolo from an unprecedented slope and the ascent of the Menador with its narrow hairpin bends and the typical tunnels of the roads carved into the rock for war reasons (it was called Kaiserjägerweg). At the top of the Monte Rovere GPM, a very few undulating kilometers will bring a very small group to the finish.
N.B. the roads involved in the route of the Giro d'Italia will close at least two hours before the passage of the race.
