Copied from Eshnar's preview:
Stage 5: Atripalda – Salerno 171 km
Wednesday, May 10th, 12:40 – 17:10 CEST
Technical Overview:
A transitional stage bringing the peloton to the Tyrrhenian coast. The day starts with a bang, as the peloton will hit the short but tough Passo Serra (GPM3, 4 km at 7.3%) after only 6 km from the start. Straight after that, the riders will find the two uncategorized ramps of Passo di Mirabella (2.5 km at 6%) and Croce Calabrone (2 km at 7%), after which the road will become a long and irregular ascending false flat. This false flat culminates after about 35 km, including a few small ramps and descents, as well as the intermediate sprint of Sant’Angelo di Lombardi, just before the top. After that it will be time for a 40 km long descending section, again very irregular just like the ascending one. It ends at the foot of the final climb of the day, the short but steep Oliveto Citra (GPM3, 2.6 km at 7.6%). The top is at 57 km to go, of which 23 km are of rolling terrain and the last 34 are pan flat, with the intermediate sprint of Battipaglia 26 km before the finishing line in Salerno.
The Climbs:
Passo Serra: GPM3, 4 km at 7.3%
It is the same climb as the one in stage 9 of the Giro 2015. In the Garibaldi it is listed as 4 km at 6.5% but that is wrong, as the average is 7.3%, as confirmed by the official altitude gain of 292m. We have no profile this year, but we still have the one of 2015, where the climb is listed as 3.6 km at 8%, as they marked the start a bit further than this year. Still, exactly the same climb.
Oliveto Citra: GPM3, 2.6 km at 7.6%
Shorter than Passo Serra but just as tough. No profile at all this time.
What to Expect:
This is a good stage for a breakaway, but if the peloton keeps the tempo high a mass sprint should be very likely.
