Lello Ferrara in the Social Fantacycling Jersey


All right, we joked. Now it's starting to get serious. Tomorrow there will be the first alpine stage. And today the muscles are warming up on Colle Braida: ten kilometers (9.8 to be exact), 694 meters of positive difference in altitude, an average 7.1 percent with peaks of 12 percent.

An adequate introduction to the feat that awaits electric cyclists the next day. We are -8 from the end and someone already regrets the Giro-E 2023. But no! There is still so much to ride! Today 69.2 kilometers for a total of 950 meters of elevation gain. As written, the altitude data is all from the bag of Colle Braida, about thirty kilometers from the finish: from the brow it's all downhill to the beautiful Rivoli. In short, there is a wait of 30 kilometers before the start of the ascent, then the apex at the tip of the hill, then the dive towards the finish line: a school stage, if you like, but perfect for this pedal assisted bike. with a light pedaling uphill and greater stability, thanks to the extra kilos compared to its muscular sisters, on the descent.


Today the Social Fantacycling Jersey is worn by Lello Ferrara. The captain of Team Italia.it is also the character of the day in the Giro E.
