Happy to see the proper Mortirolo.
Disappointed by Cervinia... but it's not bad.
The ITT very good.
What do you mean? It is a descent finish. At the top of the variant of Alpe Segletta they chose there are a couple of ups and downs, but I don't see the problem18-Valve. (pithy) said:Is the Verbania finish a direct descent? It doesn't look like it to me. Wasted opportunity, if so.
Red Rick said:Looks great, apart from the fact that the Mortirolo stage could've been better and that they totally assraped the Cervinia and Finestre stages.

the descent is not the most challenging ever, but it is a proper descent. And the basically the one I expected.18-Valve. (pithy) said:I meant to ask if it's the shortest way from the top of the main climb to the finish.
Yes, there are a couple of ups and downs, but the final descent looks to be false flat, also. Not steep at all, at least.

Seriously, St-Barthélemy is actually a pretty nice climb, but given how easy and how logical Tze Core-Champremier-St-Panthaléon-Cervinia would have been... it's like learning Santa isn't real.
