Feltre-Alleghe, Piani di Pezzè
The stage starts from Feltre and after a ride through the hills of Val Belluna reaches Agordo to tackle the ascent of Passo Duran and then in quick succession, Passo Staulanza, passing through Coi di Zoldo, the dreaded Passo Giau, one of the most iconic climbs of the "Corsa Rosa," and Passo Falzarego before the long descent to Caprile with a 4 km valley that leads to Alleghe, where in the center of the town it turns sharply left to enter the last 5 km of the final climb.
The ascent to Piani di Pezzè begins in the center of the town of Alleghe, measures 4.8 km, overcomes a total elevation gain of 472m, and features gradients exceeding 18%.
The most challenging points are represented by two very steep walls: "La Riva de Col de Mies," a 500m stretch located halfway up with slopes of 20%, and "la Riva de Coi," the final climb of approximately 550m that leads to the finish line at Piani.
