Could this be the day the Giro d’Italia 2026 is won. Some would say Jonas Vingegaard already has it in the bag but the Queen stage can and often does turn a race on its head.
This monster Dolomite stage is easily the toughest of the race, packing 5000 metres of elevation into just 151 kilometres of riding. Leaving Feltre there isn’t a metre of flat road as the utterly relentless route crosses five mountain peaks before hitting the vicious summit finish to the Piani di Pezzè.
The first ascent of the day is the 12km Passo Duran which is followed by the climb to Coi then the Forcella Staulanza and then the high point of the day and the entire race, the mighty Passo Giau. Sitting at 2223m the Giau is where the Cima Coppi will be awarded to the first rider who crosses its summit after 10 kilometres of remorseless 10% incline. This road is as beautiful as it is brutal, a feast for the eyes but torture for the legs.
Right after the descent comes the penultimate climb, the 10 kilometre long Passo Falzarego and then it’s time for the finish on the exquisite Piani di Pezzè. These final five kilometres average over 10% with slopes as steep as 12%, it’s an evil yet worthy venue to almost certainly decide who is crowned winner of the 2026 Giro.
