By David Hunter Brioude > Saugues 173km Another stage that will interest different types of riders.
By David Hunter Senago > Milano 30.2km We end with a TT.
By David Hunter Issoire > Issoire 182.5km We start with a lap circuit.

By David Hunter Verbania > Valle Spluga Alpe Motta 164.4km The final mountain stage.
By David Hunter Abbiategrasso > Alpe De Mera 166.3km Due to the recent cable car accident the race has been rerouted, making it easier than before. Nothing is going to happen before the final climb, which is a shame, but the final climb is another brut.
By David Hunter Rovereto > Stradella 231.6km The return of the ridiculously long stage in the final week.
By David Hunter Canazei > Sega Di Ala 194.1km This stage has a sting in the tail.
By David Hunter Sacile > Cortina d’Ampezzo 212.7km A huge day of climbing.
By David Hunter Grado > Gorizia 147km Does anyone want to control this stage?
By David Hunter Cittadella > Monte Zoncolan 206.5km Is it rude to say that the Giro starts now?
By David Hunter Ravenna > Verona 198.8km Another sprint stage, but this time with less sprinters.
By David Hunter Siena > Bagno Di Romagna 212.4km Do not underestimate this stage.
By David Hunter Perugia > Montalcino 162.9km The Strade Bianche stage.
By David Hunter L’Aquila > Foligno 140.1km Monday is no longer a rest day; it’ll take me a while to get used to this. This is a day where we should see another sprint. It’s also the shortest stage in the race.
By David Hunter Castel Di Sangro > Campo Felice 157.8km A day out in the mountains.
By David Hunter Foggia > Guardia Sanframondi 171.4km Too hard for the sprinters, not hard enough for the GC riders, this one is another good stage for the breakaway.
