Giro 2024 Route stage 3: Novara - Fossano
Monday 6 May - The 3rd stage of the Giro is a 166 kilometres long race from Novara to Fossano. The route is predominantly flat, while the finale features some minor ascents, which are not expected to stand in the way of a fast finishers showdown.
Last year’s Giro was special in the sense that the six bunch sprints were won by six different riders, namely Jonathan Milan, Kaden Groves, Mads Pedersen, Pascal Ackermann, Alberto Dainese, and Mark Cavendish.
Double Giro winner Giuseppe Saronni was born in starting venue Novara, which hosted the finish of the 2nd stage of the 2021 Giro. Tim Merlier outsprinted Giacomo Nizzolo and Elia Viviani that day.
The route of this year’s 3rd stage is tailor-made for the fast men. Although the finale features some uphill sections, the race is expected to boil down to a bunch sprint in the streets of Fossano.
The second and third intermediate sprint come with 3, 2 and 1 seconds, while the first three riders on the line gain 10, 6 and 4 seconds.
