Right, so make it the second in a two-sequence of mountain stages with the first finishing on the desent (like at Ortisei from Passo Sella) and a rest day after Tre Cime di Lavaredo. Hello, I should design the damn Giro!
Exact same. Question is where they will have the finish-line.
RCS are as lazy and incompetent as Italian public administration (if you believe the stereotype).
12th of November.
I don't believe in stereotypes, but multiple Italians have told me that in this case, I really should
We've had 3 tapones in the Giro 2023. Okay, they shortened the 1st but the other 2 were disappointing.
No plan B is the worst. And there also shitloads of climbs in Italy which makes it possible to create great stages without high altitude climbs. They don't need to make perhaps the 2 or 3 most important mountain stages dependent of climbs well above 2000 meters. And sometimes also over 2500 meters.
Yeah. Sometimes there might be no real plan B (unless going around and making most of stage flat). And if that is the case, they should rather drop that stage and do something else. Like a Gavia - Mortirolo - Aprica stage can be changed to Trivigno - Mortirolo - Aprica. While other high mountain stages might not have any feasible replacement options making the stage anywhere close to equally tough.
