The next Giro weekend opens with a stage from the furniture city of Cantù in Brianza to the dynamic city of Bergamo, via the Lecco arm of Lake Como, then over the 26-kilometre ascent of Passo San Marco above Morbegno, and the final ascent of La Trinità-Dossena with 40 kilometres to go to Bergamo. No sprinters will survive while Astana's local lads Paolo Savoldelli and Eddy Mazzoleni, along with Marco Pinotti (T-Mobile) will be looking to shine in their hometown.
