Tour E, stage 17: from Monastier di Treviso to Caorle

Flat calm at Giro-E. Today's stage, from Monastier di Treviso to Caorle, has a flat profile like a mid-August sea: 50 meters in altitude over 66 kilometers are the zero point of something that tends to nothing. We will have to sweat, to keep up with the wildest. The route is beautiful, a classic: it starts from the hinterland and flows into the sea, in this case at Lido di Jesolo, from which it runs along the Adriatic until arriving in Caorle. A little more than 20 kilometers from the finish, a pontoon bridge: a thrill of emotion, in a mostly peaceful stage. As mentioned, the arrival is in Caorle. The Municipality has been recognized as a "plastic-free municipality", because it will work to organize a differentiated collection of the plastic generated by the stage's finish, with attention dedicated to its disposal, and above all to its non-dispersion in the sea. A wonderful news!
