Giro 2021 Route stage 3: Biella – Canale

The first 115 kilometres are flat to undulating and then the Bric delle Forchi appears. The 5 kilometres climb goes up at around 6%. Some 20 kilometers later the next hill is 4 kilometres at 6%. The downhill leads straight onto the third uphill test. Again a gradient of approximately 6%, while the ascent is 5 kilometres long.

With 40 kilometres remaining the riders descend to Alba and the route continues on the flat to a 2.6 ascent at 7.1% that’s crested inside the last 15 kilometres. The climb is pepped up with a steepest section just before the top in Guarene.

In theory, the punchy climb is a perfect place to launch a late attack, while another short ramp – at 12% – appears in Occhetti, roughly 5 kilometres before the line.

The second intermediate sprint – in Guarene! – 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.

Another interesting read: favourites to win the race to Canale.

The 3rd stage of the Giro d’Italia starts at 12.20 and the race is expected to finish around 17.15 – both are local times (CEST).
