Giro 2021 Favourites stage 15: Attackers in Slovenian hills

Following a predominantly flat opening the riders enter the circuit after approximately 60 kilometres. It’s 31.5 kilometres long and included two and a half times, while a punchy 1.7 kilometres climb at 8.5% appears three times.

On the first two occasions the climb continues onto a false flat drag, but the last time – with roughly 15 kilometres out – the riders turn right and head for the finish line in Goriza.

A short and sharp climb inside the last 4 kilometres could be decisive in terms of the stage victory, The riders descend onto an undulating 2 kilometres run-in to the finish line, while a cobbled sector peps up the last kilometre.
