[Manuel The Volder]

Oh my, this is going to be really exciting. The stage in Messina will be very tough cause the riders must climb to Portella Mandrazzi before coming to a probable sprint. Then there will be two long stages of 200 km or so, but flat or almost flat. It's going to be an adrenalinic finish with all the captains and all the sprinters battling for the best position.
The last two sprint stages will probably set the field for the mountain stages. They are of an average length and not so hard despite some climb like Ca del Poggio steep climb.

I can't wait to discover the hilly stages tomorrow !!!
