It’s crunch time at the Giro d’Italia, with the race for the pink jersey set to be decided on a stage 20 route that includes the mighty Colle delle Finestre – not one to be missed.
The Finestre is a legendary climb that is made up of gravel tracks in its final 7km. In total it measures 18.5km at an average gradient of 9.2%, rising to 2178 metres above sea level. It’s a brute, best known for Chris Froome‘s table-turning raid to win the 2018 Giro.
The 205km stage from Verrès to Sestrière features two climbs in the early phases, and a climb to the finish after the descent off Finestre, but really the stage is all about one climb, to decide the race once and for all.
