Giro 2013 rumours

[LaFlorecita]

Stage 18 20 km long mtt

 

[LaFlorecita]

Stage 19 138 km long mountain stage

 

[Mad Elephant Man]

First high mountain stage, stage 10

Stage 4 looks like it will finish sort of up a climb, might be interesting after a long stage, but might be nothing.

 

[Netserk]

Only one mountain stage >150 km long

 

[LaFlorecita]

Ah, 202 km long mountain stage, stage 20

 

[DominicDecoco]

Stage 20 is a fantastic stage.

 

[Fidolix]

Nice route, I like it.

 

[LaFlorecita]

By the way no descent finish?

 

[Netserk]

Ending with a f.ucking flat stage!

 

[burning]

Stage 20 is really good, but disappointing route imo

 

[gerundium]

stage 20 looks mouthwatering. hope it won't end up like this year where people fear it so much it impacts the preceding stages negatively.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Stage 20 is really good, but disapointing route imo

+1.........

 

[LaFlorecita]

Ending with a f.ucking flat stage!

I know

 

[Descender]

No surprises, apart from the Firenze stage which will apparently only feature the world's circuit once (hmph!).

"Meh" is my reaction. Some promising hilly stages though.

Why do we have such a long final stage, and then 130 km mountain stages?

It's a mystery

 

[Lupetto]

Did Pescheux work this route out?

 

[Netserk]

Wiggo the favourite. The MTT really suits him well.

Haha, seems that way...

 

[LaFlorecita]

Wiggo the favourite. The MTT really suits him well.

Yeah...

 

[LaFlorecita]

138km mountain stage. major facepalm.

I know... one really short mountain stage is nice (tour 2011 stage 19) but multiple 140-150 km mountain stages

 

[ILovecycling]

Stage 20 is a fantastic stage.

Yeah,its like Gardeccia stage.Nice stage,really!
Stage 4 could be good,I like 55 km TT.I missed this in Giro for years.
I like MTT - 18stage.Its almost 20 km long and 5.5%,thats sounds pretty important for the GC
To sum up - stages 18,19,20 are the most important
