Saturday May 25th: Alpago - Bassano del Grappa (184 km)

Who will win stage 20 of Giro d'Italia 2024 according to the computer? The stage starts in Alpago and finishes after 184 kilometers in Bassano del Grappa. If there's still any uncertainty about the GC in this Giro, not after today. The organization picked the Monte Grappa as the climb for the final climbing mayhem in this GrandTour. After a flat run-in of just under 90 KM, the riders arrive in Semonzo del Grappa and will have to climb Monte Grappa twice. The Monte Grappa is a beastly climb of 18.1 KM at 8.1% with spikes up to 14%. The average gradient of 8.1% is even somewhat deceptive, because the climb also features two small descending sections. Further, it's almost constant climbing against a 9%, where the gradient in the last 7 KM of the climb regularly goes into 'double digits' and the last 3.5 KM go up at an average of 9.5%. Climbing it once is already a torment, but the riders have to go challenge it twice. In between and after the second climb, a long descent of about 25 KM brings the riders back to the valley. After the second descent, they ride towards Bassano del Grappa to sprint for victory after 5 flat kilometers. We'll know who is the King of the Giro.
