With departure in Puccini Lake Towera town in the municipality of Viareggioending in Rapolano Termeand a tour of 180 kilometersthe sixth stage of the 2024 Giro d’Italia will be disputed Thursday May 9. The organization of the test, in the technical commentary on this day shown on the Giro’s official website, defines the stage as “demanding”; it is characterized by three gravel sectorswhich total almost twelve kilometers, and also because of the hardness of the end, since the The climb to Serre de Rapolano has slopes of up to 20%.
Everything will start at 12:55 p.m., which is when the cyclists are going to start pedaling on the stage; The forecast is that the winner of the day will raise his arms under the finish banner between 5:00 p.m. and 5:26 p.m.. There is two scoring climbs for the Mountain Grand Prix, both of 4th category: is about Volterrawhich is surpassed at kilometer 80.4, and Grottiwhose banner is at kilometer 140.4, almost 40 from the finish.
The first two gravel sections of the three we mentioned above, Vidritta and Bagnaia, are also present in the classic Strade Bianche, while the third, Pievina, the organizers warn, is not paved. In Bagnaia there are sections of 15% slope. The conclusion is that it is a stage in which there are no important mountain passes, but there is terrain on which to attack, whoever has the strength to do so, and on which to suffer, those who walk more justly.
The final part of the day, we refer to its last 450 meters, will be held on a slope that has a slope of around 6%.
Go on the live stage on eitb.eus since 12:35 p.m.and from the 3:00 p.m. also in ETB1.
