On the ascent 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 hills will cross the Agordo Channel to tackle the ascent of Passo Duran, and then in rapid 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 crossing the valley that leads from Caprile to Alleghe and entering the last 5 km of the final ascent.
The climb to Piani di Pezzè begins in the center of Alleghe, measures 5.2 km, has an overall elevation gain of 472m, and features gradients exceeding 18%.
The most challenging points are represented by the "Mur de Col de Mies", a 500m stretch located halfway up with gradients of 20%, and the "Mur de Coi", the final climb of about 550m leading to the finish at Piani.
