Giro d'Italia Giro d'Italia 2022 route rumors

[Nirvana]

Beppe Conti said that this will be the last Giro designed by Vegni, from next year will be Allocchio the one to blame, on the italian forum they are already in full meltdown because he was a sprinter.

To be honest, as stage 20 I would unironically prefer a mtf on Fedaia from Canizei. Fedaia from the east as a mtf is completely unsuited for the finale of a gt. It's hard enough to scare any potential long range attackers, the final 5 km are the steepest meaning everyone will play the waiting game till then and even if you wanted long range attacks there aren't that many hard climbs to put in front of it. The best option is the Giau but from that side the Giau isn't really that hard either. I suppose you could use a large number of climbs to make things harder but then I'm not a fan of the concept of making your final mountain stage the hardest one. Fedaia as the finish of stage 20 would simply be mediocre at best.

Fedaiaaa!!!! is about the scenery on the east side

You can have decent stages with a MTF on Fedaia from Canazei as the final mountain stage of a GT, I came up with these 2:

Any idea what he's like as a person? Could be one of those twisted people who go:
"I would have hated this, but I'm not racing anymore! "

I think it'll just be 20 flat stages and an MTF on the Poggio from now on.

Caleb Ewan FTW.

 

[noob]

It makes him look very uptight.

Ah ! Might be that it's someone I don't recognize tbh But the hair looks odd though. The suit looks fine to me. But Almeida looks better in a suit for sure. Some people just suit suits while others don't. I guess contrasted colouring definitely helps. Now I shall find Hodeg in a suit for your thread

 

[roundabout]

Has Fedaia ever been climbed from Canazei in the Giro? My quick sloppy research says no and I don't see why it would suddenly be different this time.

My wild guess is something like Fedaia-Pordoi-Fedaia as the last 3 climbs

Hard to find a place to finish in the Dolomites where you couldn't have a great stage tbh?

Oh yes, please, if you could find one that would be great... But I suppose it won't be easy.

It won't. They will climb the east side as always, as the stage is paid by the Veneto region.

 

[houtdffan]

2008 had a finish at Fedia

the action started on the Giau

Maybe Madonna di Campiglio?

 

[OlavEH]

Maybe Madonna di Campiglio?

Is that in the Dolomites? I thought the Dolomites was the mountains within the valleys/roads in the area Trento - Feltre - Belluno - Pieve di Cadore - Toblach - Brunico - Bressanone - Bolzano and back to Trento?

Something like this

Or extending to this.

Okay to my dying day I'll fail to recognize what's classified as dolomites and what isn't.

Still think Daone + MdC is already a good combo if they just finish in the town rather than above it like in 2015, especially if it's not the day before Mortirolo.

Bondone North + Durone +Daone before MdC should be pretty good right

 

[OlavEH]

Bondone North + Durone +Daone before MdC should be pretty good right

If used as stage 20 where the riders are more likely to attack than if the same stage was used as stage 10 or 14, it could have been a very good mountain stage.

Overall you're correct, but the Brenta group is part of the Dolomites and takes it's name of the carbonate rock Dolomites. It's a large part of the Limeston Alps in Italy (I've always seen it as BS that the Brenta group is included, but not the Lienzner Dolomiten, but that's because they are not in Italy).

Here are the flat stages.

The stage to Reggio (201 km) is said to be the longest of the Giro lol

 

[Red Rick]

5 stages that are easily bunch sprints is a bit disappointing

 

[roundabout]

+1 in Hungary, so 6 in total.

which is fine

Don't know if any of the supposed hilly stages might be a possible sprint.

Also, Sanremo - Cuneo might be an interesting flat stage especially if the point jersey is contended.

 

[BlueRoads]

So who of the sprinters do you expect to come?

 

[Mayomaniac]

Having a stage finish in Cuneo and making it a sprint stage is a bit meh, even if i looks like an interesting sprint stage.

Least it's long enough to tire out the riders before the coming days

Hang on a second
