The day after the first day of rest, the backpackers have the opportunity to shine, Tuesday, May 16, in this rugged 10th stage, 196 km long, between Scandiano and Viareggio. Despite the rise of Passo delle Radici (2nd category) more than 100 km from the finish, the sprinters will also have their say.

Two days after the abandonment of the Remco Evenepoel pink jersey, due to Covid, this day will allow the other favorites to gauge themselves. The new general leader, Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers), is only 2 seconds ahead of his main opponent, Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma), and 15 seconds over his teammate Tao Geoghegan Hart. The first Frenchman in the general, Pavel Sivakov (Ineos Grenadiers), is in 10th position.
