Sunday 23 june 2019 is the day:

You will spend 1 week torturing yourself over numerous alpine passes:

stage 3 - Mendelpass, Passo Tonale, Passo Gavia

stage 4 - Umbrailpass, Ofenpass, Passo Bernina, Forcola di Livigno

stage 5 - Passo d’Eira, Passo Foscagno, Passo Mortirolo

stage 6 - Passo Mortirolo, Passo Tonale

stage 7 - Passo Campo Carlo Magno, Passo Daone, Passo Duron, Passo del Ballino

... crossing places like Bressanone, Caldaro, Bormio, Livigno, Aprica and Ossana, and finally - if everything goes according to plan - reaching the finish in Riva del Garda on Saturday 29 june.

We are excited and keep our fingers crossed for them!
