I only heard that they started working on the road last month, so I figured it was way too late for this edition.

yep

https://www.cicloweb.it/news/344762781190/giro-d-italia-2025-il-mortirolo-inedito-e-quasi-ufficiale It seems the Recta Contador is on the table again

I do like it. It's more a 6 than a 7 but still good enough and a lot better than the past two editions. My biggest gripe is the laughable ITT and stage 15. The rest is fine. Yes, stage 17 is bad, but in the context of the third week I think it's ok. Stage 15 really needed to be a proper...

Castelraimondo and Vicenza a little worse than I expected. Grappa from Romano, stage went from bad to worse. The rest as expected. The Strade Bianche stage is the highlight for me. Hopefully there are guys that want to race it for real.

https://www.cicloweb.it/news/470390574598/spoiler-atto-finale-il-percorso-del-giro-d-italia-2025-in-anteprima That's all we know, and tbf it's more than usual. But then again this is a weird edition, rumours-wise. Some specific stage routes are still mostly guesswork though. If our sources are...

I think so, yes. Maybe the province, but pretty sure not the region.

yeah I think the width of the road is the main problem there. There are also quite a few dangerous sections that would need concrete safety measures, and since we are talking about a very long descent, I can imagine the costs would be high. I'm sure that none of that would be a dealbreaker with...

Afaik both climbs have very sketchy descents and Vegni isn't the guy to take that risk, without massive sponsors in the area

yeah, that's concerning

So they say, yes. It would definitely make the stage a lot better.

yeah, personally I can only be happy about it. Nothing will happen there but it's important that it gets the foot in the door, so to speak. edit: And I just want to see it, after 25 years

I'm sorry to kill the buzz but afaik they will get to Bormio from the south and finish in town. That will be, all in all, a disappointing stage. The big mountain stage will be stage 16 (which, btw, does not finish in Torbole)

Sadly not even you can make Bocca di Forca happen.

I'm pretty optimistic right now. I've heard some very good rumours. Can't share them yet, sorry :p My main concern right now is only the length of the Tuscan ITT, of which I know nothing about. If it's long enough, we have a very good route on our hands
