heywoodu 13,499 Posted April 16, 2018 #185 Share Posted April 16, 2018 How bad is that final climb in stage 3? Not sure if it's the profile designer, but it looks like they're riding up Mount Everest If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Well, 29km with 1800m of climbing would mean a gradient of 6.2% so not brutally steep but also not exactly flat. If I remember correctly the climb was used last year too but the last few km were cancelled due to wind. On another note, the tour of the alps (formerly known as giro del trentino) takes place this week too with a great starter field with the likes of froome, Lopez and Pinot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather is thankfully much more pleasant this time around. And that is the average gradient, yes, though steepest parts are reportedly within last 10 km (last 3 km in particular). #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
