nobody knows. But Rapolano Terme (where the stage should finish) is only a few km from the end of Monte Sante Marie.
Plus two time trials.
It really looks like we will get 2 or 3 epic 6-7 hour tappone stages.
First time since the Stelvio stage in 2017? At least two of these would be very good.
I rode through Mortirolo and Gavia yesterday. Big road repair works on descents from both - maybe preparation for Giro 2024? 
Not rumoured but the Giro could certainly need a classic Mortirolo stage to Aprica also via Tonale and Gavia.
Yeah, it was a bit longer than I remembered. So that counts.
The presentation is tomorrow evening (starts at 18:00 CET)
Latest:
Perugia ITT 42 km
Desenzano ITT 31 km
Prati di Tivo ~160 km
Stage 9 might end in Naples, with stage 10 starting in Pompeii and stage 11 starting in Foiano.

Not if Pog, Vinge, Roglic and Remco all are stating that they will do the Tour.
...for the third year in a row. After having had one stage in the 2010s, one (start, not finish) in the 2000s, one in the 1990s, none in the 1980s, and one in the 1970s. Weird.
As a guess, is a local politician maybe a cycling enthusiast?
The 2022 Giro was presented on November 12, 2021. The current municipal government started its term on October 18, 2021, so Naples' bid for the 2022 Giro would almost certainly have been prepared before that.
Heard Naples has bigger trash heaps than the VAM berg so uphill finish?
Oh well, the finish on Vesuvio was too good to be true for me anyway.
Is this the map? (shamelessly stolen from cicloweb, will take it down if someone complains)

With that high altitude stages Carapaz should give it a try again. Bernal should try at the Giro first as well. Hindley as well. He did great in the high altitude stages at the Giro in 2020. it looks promising.
The good thing about the Giro stages is that we enjoy watching the profiles and dreaming about the epic battles until the race starts. The reality is we usually get 1 or 2 stages cancelled or curtailed by bad weather and they are the most important ones. Lol.
