On the climb that allowed Marco Pantani to win the Giro d'Italia for amateurs in 1992, on May 29 the professionals will arrive with the decisive stage for the final classification of the Giro d'Italia 2026
The stage will start from Feltre and after a ride through the Belluno hills will cross the Agordo Canal to tackle the climb of the Passo Duran and then in rapid succession, the Passo Staulanza, passing through Coi di Zoldo, the feared Passo Giau, one of the most iconic climbs of the "Corsa Rosa," and the Passo Falzarego before the long descent to Caprile with the valley floor of 4 km leading to Alleghe and entering the last 5 km of the final climb.
The ascent to the Piani di Pezzè begins in the center of the town of Alleghe, measures 4.8 km, overcomes a total elevation of 472m, and features gradients exceeding 18%.
The most demanding points are represented by the "Mur de Col de Mies" a 500m stretch positioned halfway up with gradients of 20% and the "Mur de Coi" the final slope of about 550m that leads to the finish line of the Piani.
