Stage 17: Pergine Valsugana – Caorle, 195 km
Wednesday, May 24th, 12:45 – 17:10 CEST
Technical Overview:
The classic transitional stage of the third week starts in the Valsugana Valley and ends on the Venetian coast, along a pan flat route. There is hope to avoid a mass sprint though: starting from the second intermediate sprint in Lido di Jesolo, at 31 km to go, the peloton will always ride along the coast, which means crosswinds could happen. This area can be very windy at times, so if the weather allows someone could try to take advantage of it. Otherwise this will go to whoever sprinter is still in the race, if any.
What to Expect:
Mass sprint, with just an outside chance of echelons.
