Giro d’italia 2024 – stage 20 [LAST 50 KM] : Alpago to Bassano del Grappa
The denouement of the GC battle at the 2024 Giro d’Italia comes with a double visit to the Monte Grappa. With a sprint stage in Rome on the final day for the second year in a row, this will be the last chance to grab the pink jersey or move up the overall standings. The stage is set up for explosive racing with a gently rolling opening half of the day before the Monte Grappa looms into sight.
A long descent to the finish line after the second ascent will be just as important as the two climbs as some riders could lose a lot of time, or gain some. In 2010, Vincenzo Nibali used the descent off the climb to win the stage and jump into the top 10 — he eventually finished on the final podium. If the GC is in any way close when it comes to this stage, we should be in for a thrilling contest.
