(Original profile. New planned course the same but without the last 4.25 km of the Galibier climb)
Cesana Torinese - Col du Galibier (Les Granges du Galibier) 144.8 km
The big stage of uncertainty. After all reports of shortenings and cancellations the massive mountainstage seems to be set to go on in it's original form, only excluding the last 4,25 km of Galibier. We'll see if the weathergods cooperate and can only hope the organizers won't be forced into last minute alterations.
Girbecco's Guess : Vincenzo Nibali
The shark won't want to let a chance to win on Galibier slip out of his jaws. No gifts today.
