Giro d'Italia Women 2026 **SPOILERS**

Yes, but virtually all of that altitude gain comes in the final 45kms.
Stage 5 climbing was spread out over 100kms.
Finestre will mostly be about survival, rather than attacking.
I reckon they will cross the summit, all spread out in small groups.(as do the men)

I concur with your observation it's a more abrupt elevation gain

Break had 8 mins a moment ago. Now suddenly down to 7. Either a quirk of the timing or the big teams have decided enough is enough

Lidl pushing hard and eating the break's advantage pretty quickly

All GC riders in the crash now back in the peloton. AvdB took a while to get up, could effect her tomorrow
