Stage 15: Fiume Veneto – Asiago, 219 km (Sunday 25, dep. 11:25-11:35, arr. 16:50-17:30)
A long stage with two long but not very steep climbs.
Stage with high difficulties, 15 points to the winner.
The 3 km rule applies for falls/incidents in the finish.
Delays : 16% if ≤ 30 km/h; 17% if ≤ 34 km/h; 18% otherwise. Expected average speeds: 37 km/h ⇒ 1h04’16’‘, 39 km/h ⇒ 1h00’40’‘, 41 km/h ⇒ 57’04’'.
We can note how the time bonus sprint has been located within the second long climb, probably to trigger the final attacks around that point. Also, delays are huge (≈1h), so even riders in trouble at the start of first long climb should finish in time.
