There are a lot of questions around this step. Will the sprinters manage to hang on in the ascent of Colle di Nava (10.1 km at 6.8%), or will the backpackers take advantage of it once again to offer themselves, Friday May 20, a new battle for the stage victory? Nothing is less sure.

This time, the profile will be very different because the summit of the only difficulty is less than 100km from the finish.
