Well, he didn't have much positive to say about Deceuninck-Quickstep today, or in the giro in general.

And rightfully so. Come on, the whole Viviani/Sabatini thing is just painful to watch.

Stage 12
Cuneo > Pinerolo



The stage is hilly and overall intense. After approx. 90 km, the route enters the city to take a first pass of the “muro” (or wall) of via Principi di Acaja, and to crest the first category-one GPM of the 2019 Giro. The race is new to this climb, which slopes at 9.4% for 8.9 km (with gradients exceeding 10% for over 6 km, and topping out at 14%). After a fast running descent, Pinerolo is 16 km away.

 

Final kilometres

2,500 m before the finish, the route takes a sharp left-hand turn and climbs up the narrow Via Principi d’Acaja (450 m with an average 14% gradient and peaks of 20%, on road pavers). Next is a steep and harsh descent leading into Pinerolo. The last 1,500 m are on level roads, with just a few bends and a short stretch on stone-slab paving. The finish line sits at the end of a 350 m long homestretch, on 8 m wide tarmac.

Discover the Departure

Cuneo

 

  

Cuneo, founded in 1198, takes its name from the wedge-shaped plateau (534 m) where it is located, at the junction between the Gesso stream and the Stura river. Piazza Galimberti is the heart of the town with its traditional Tuesday market and Museo Casa Galimberti.

 

Gastronomy

Do not miss the chance to taste: the flavorous chocolate and rum pralines called “Cuneesi” (which were also highly appreciated by Ernest Hemingway, as he came to Cuneo in 1954), Cuneo salami, P.D.O. cheeses, marron glaceé, chestnut Cuneo cakes, smoked trouts.

Places of Interest

The historical centre was restored and among the civil buildings that deserve a visit, we suggest the Town Hall and the Civic Tower, where you can enjoy a delightful view of the Alps. The ancient church and monastery of San Francesco houses the Civic Museum. The Gesso and Stura Rivers Parkland currently covers an area of some 4,000 hectares and it includes 10 different municipalities; it represents a link between the mountain area and the plain.
