Giro d’Italia 2023 Stage 16: How to watch, TV and live stream details, profile as Geraint Thomas hunts pink

Calling all GC contenders – your time is now.

After a rather drab fight for the maglia rosa at the Giro d’Italia so far, we can belatedly expect the big-hitters to spring into action at the start of the final week with over 5000m of vertical gain awaiting the peloton on Stage 16.

The riders have 64km to ease their legs back into proceedings, mostly along the western shore of Lake Garda, before the race heads uphill for the first, and definitely not the last, time. The Passo di Santa Barbara (average 10% gradient) is the first test, swiftly followed by the Passo di Bordala.

Then it’s a descent into Rovereto, another climb to KOM points in Matassone and a tasty-looking Cat. 2 slog to Serrada. After a sharp descent, relief finally arrives in the form of 10km flat road. But the gentle terrain is unlikely to be savoured, with the final test – the Cat. 1 climb of Monte Bondone – promising changing slopes over the 22km ascent and 15% gradients.

“They are raring to go,” said Robbie McEwen on The Breakaway on Sunday. “It’s time for game on. They are ready to go in this final week.”
