- 07h36.5 Coles, two-stage final. La Crosetta is a first class climb (11.6 km down 7.1%) with the summit after 40 km. Pieve di Cadore is 28 km (7.3 km by 4.8%), and is a Category IV mountain. The finale is amazing. We reach the summit of Forcella Cibiana (first cat, 9.6km by 7.8%) at 26km from the finish. Then it descends 12 km and the two-stage rocket starts to finish. Because it’s not a very long climb, it’s a category II climb. But Coi has 5.7km of 9.7% climbing with cut-offs that are 19% more brutal. Riders can take a break during the two-kilometer descent to blast off afterwards to the Val di Zoldo ski resort at Refugio Palafavera (2.7km down 6.4%). After 161 km there is the line. .
