Another stage that promises plenty of fighting with no clear script. There will be a climb straight from the start, Prestieri (category 3), and above all a major obstacle fifty kilometres from the finish, the Montagna Grande di Viggiano.
The 6.6 kilometres at 9% of this category 2 climb could give us a battle for the stage between attackers and even offer clues as to who are the strongest ahead of the mountain stages that properly begin on Friday.
Before the finish there will be another uphill finish in the centre of Potenza. And watch out for fatigue: this Giro goes beyond 200 kilometres for the second time.
Bonuses
There are 10-6-4" at the finish and 6-4-2" at the Red Bull Kilometre.
