- The time is 09h58.218km today, good for the second longest stage. Just next Wednesday we will take it a step further by riding 219 kilometres. With an altitude of 3,900 metres, this is also the Giro’s first 4-star stage. It’s certainly not the toughest mountain hike, but the height and length of the final climb justify the status. Roughly speaking, we can say that the road surface is sloping only in the last 45 kilometers, although this is not the same everywhere. The actual final climb of Campo Imperatore is 26.4 kilometers with an average gradient of 3.4 percent and peaks of up to 13 percent. The last 4 kilometers are tough. & nbsp; .
