Giro 2021 Route stage 18: Roveretto - Stradella

It remains to be seen if the sprinters will be alarmed by the inclinations at all, as they are nowhere near steep, let alone long. The length is hovering between 2 and 3 kilometres, while the gradients peak out at 4%. Furthermore, after the last ascents there are still 12 kilometres remaining to the finish line in Stradella.

Under normal circumstances, the race is perfect for a bunch sprint, but since the riders are three weeks into the Giro the dynamics could change. Last year shortened (and pan flat) 19th stage was won from the breakaway by Josef Cerny.

The second intermediate sprint comes with 3, 2 and 1 seconds, while time bonuses of 10, 6 and 4 seconds are awarded to the first three riders on the line.

The 18th stage of the Giro d’Italia starts at 11.35 and the race is expected to finish around 17.15 – both are local times (CEST).
