It seems to be covering precious few of the amazing mountains the country has to offer. No Gavia, Mortirolo, Stelvio, Fedaia, Grappa, Tre Cime, Zoncolan. Even the Giau, which is probably the hardest climb in the race, is plonked in the middle of the stage, which I could get if they were going right at the bottom and finishing at Tre Cime, but they're not.
It's the Giro, so I'm sure it'll be good, but the route on paper just doesn't seem super exciting.
