The day the entire Giro Women is built around. The stage many climbers have been dreaming about for months.
Fresh from the Angliru's debut in women's competition, the race now tackles the Colle delle Finestre — the other great brute of the season for professional women: nearly 20 km at 8%, its final eight kilometres unpaved.
From the summit, a rapid 27 km descent, followed by the grind of the false flats and a more demanding final stretch (last 8 km at 5.5%) up to the ski resort of Sestriere, where the GC could be decided... or maybe not, because watch out for tomorrow!
