It goes up, it goes down and it never stops. This is what awaits the riders of the Giro, Saturday May 21, between Santena and Turin. Like the mythical classic Milan-Turin at the time, this arrival in the Piedmontese city should be electric. Because before getting there, you will have to climb no less than five listed difficulties, four of second category, one of third. The last, the Colle della Maddalena (3.6 km at 7.3%), whose summit is located less than 13 km from the finish, should be the justice of the peace for this 14th stage.
So, a good share of the breakaways or a battle of favorites? As often on the Giro, nothing is written. But one thing is certain, the race promises to be eventful for several reasons: an opportunity for the favorites to test themselves again and valuable points to be picked up for some in the mountain classification. Juan Pedro Lopez (Trek-Segafredo) will have to hold on well to try to keep his pink jersey, which is only twelve seconds ahead of Richard Carapaz. Follow the 14th stage live.
