After a well-deserved rest day, the Giro starts again with a sortie into neighbouring country, Austria, from the eyewear town of Agordo with climbing from the start over the Passo Campolongo.
Perfect for opportunistic stage seekers, Stage 16 could be decided by the steep ascent of the Bannberg 27 kilometres from Lienz.
