“It’s going to be like a Classic – but in a Grand Tour!” says Eurosport expert Adam Blythe. A mini Lombardia? An urban mountain stage? Stage 15 at the Giro d’Italia promises to be fun.
Geraint Thomas will return to his familiar robes of Ineos Grenadiers on Sunday after deciding to let Bruno Armirail (Groupama–FDJ) take the maglia rosa to give the Welshman an evening off from post-race leadership duties.
So what’s in store on a four-star day in the sort-of-mountains?

Punchy climbs alternate with uncomplicated sections, so we can expect plenty of attacks and, potentially, a nice day for the breakaway.
The route quickly tackles the punishing Cat. 1 gradients of the Valcava and enters the Bergamo province. After popping into Bergamo, the race tackles the hairpin-filled climb to Selvino before a sharp down-and-up to Miragolo San Salvatore.
Then it's back to Bergamo, passing over the finish, up the third Cat. 2 climb to Valpiana and, finally, back to Bergamo again for the finish.
