The double ascent of Twelve Bends (Cat. 1) / Bellonghan (Cat. 2) should be the first big showdown for the GC men on Chinese soil.
Almost 12 km at 5.8%, with another ramp at the end, some thirty kilometres from the finish. The (again) great altitude of the climb, nearly 3400m, and the fast descent to the Huzhu finish should let the favourites play their cards on the climb.
