Giro 2024 Route stage 18: Fiera di Premiero - Padova

Giro d'Italia 2024Thursday 23 May - Stage 18 of the Giro d'Italia starts at an elevation of 694 metres in Fiera di Premiero and finishes at 15 metres in Padova. Since there are hardly any obstacles to conquer along the way the race is likely to come down to a fast finishers showdown. The distance is 178 kilometres.

A modest climb between Ponte Oltra to Lamon is the only real obstacle. It’s done and dusted inside the first 20 kilometres before the route continues false flat downhill. Another more undulating section begins in Valdobbiadenes, shortly after leaving the valley of the Piave River.

The riders return to the same valley to cross the river and traverse the plains to the northwest of Venice in the last 80 kilometres. Strong winds could impact the race on this exposed and extremely flat terrain. But nothing should stand in the way of a bunch sprint on a quiet day.

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.
