Giro d'Italia 2017 - the route - 100th Giro climbs Mount Etna, Mortirolo and Stelvio Pass

More time trial kilometres, more mountain finishes than the Tour de France and the 2,757-metre-high Stelvio Pass as the highlight: the 100th edition of the Giro d'Italia presents a challenging route. The race begins with a flat stage on 6 May in Sardinia and ends with an individual time trial on 28 May in Milan. After the start with three day sections in Sardinia, the peloton crosses over to Sicily, where the ascent of Mount Etna promises a first major elimination race on stage 5 (Rise in 3D graphics).

This is followed by further mountain finishes on the Blockhaus in Abruzzo (stage 9, 3D graphics), in Oropa (14., 3D graphics), after a tour through the Dolomites in Ortisei in Val Gardena (18th, 3D graphics) and in the Piancavallo ski station (19., 3D graphics). The queen's stage leads over the Mortirolo, Stelvio and Umbrail passes to Bormio (16th).

A total of 67 kilometres are on the programme in the battle against the clock. Over 39 undulating kilometres through Umbria on the 10th stage and a completely flat finish from Monza to Milan on the 21st stage.
