Place at the 11th stage of the Tour of Italy this Wednesday, May 17 with several riders who will not start.
After a chaotic 10th stage due to bad weather conditions, the Giro riders will start the 11th stage this Wednesday, May 17. The latter, 219 kilometers long between Camaiore and Tortona (the longest of this Tour of Italy) should smile on the sprinters despite three climbs listed throughout the course.
In detail, the road is flat for 70 miles, before rising for the ascent of Passo del Bracco (10.1 km at 4.4%) before a descent to Sestri Levante and a false flat that will take the peloton towards the second difficulty of the day, the Colla di Boasi (9.3 km at 4.3%) followed by the Passo della Castagnola (4.9 km at 4.5%) which will have its summit more than 40 kilometers from the arrival. For this finish, the sprinters are therefore expected and the Dane Mads Pedersen, who settled the sprint of the peloton on Tuesday just behind the breakaway and the winner of the day Magnus Cort Nielsen, hopes to achieve the same feat as his compatriot.
This 11th stage will be done without several runners, struck by the Covid. Since the abandonment of Remco Evenepoel, positive cases due to Covid-19 are linked. The Soudal Quick-Step announced this Wednesday, May 17, the abandonment of 4 riders, all positive: Jan Hirt, Josef Cerny, Louis Vervaeke and Matteo Cattaneo. The two Italians Andrea Vendrame from the AG2R-Citroën formation and Stefano Gandin for Team Corratec will also not start the 11th stage due to a positive test. To cope, the director of the Tour of Italy has put in place a protocol. “We dropped the focus a little too soon. We must continue to remain vigilant, said Vegni. We will already start from this week. We will restore certain restrictions that had been removed, such as the obligation to wear masks in the areas where you come into contact with the runners, at the start and at the finish.”
