This Wednesday, the Italy 2025 enters serious field with the dispute of stage 11, a half mountain tour that, despite not qualifying as a high mountain, promises to make an important screening among the candidates for the title. There will be 186 kilometers between Viaggio and Castelnovo Ne 'Monti, with 3,850 meters of accumulated slope and a game in two very different halves.
The first part of the day, to Castelnuovo Garfagnana, will pass on wavy terrain, without major difficulties. But from kilometer 93.6, the script changes completely with the return of the legendary ascent to San Pellegrino in Alpeabsent in the turn for 25 years. This first -class port extends by 14.2 km, with an average slope of 8.7 % and sections that reach up to 20 %, making it the hardest section of this edition 108 of the Corsa Rosa.
This natural wall will be the turning point of the day. It is expected that the squad will break here, with many cyclists getting off and the favorites testing their forces and strategies. The subsequent technical descent will offer a brief respite before facing the second half of the tour, which also has its traps.
Altimetry of stage 11 of the Italian Giro 2025
In the last 50 kilometers two second category ports come into play: Whic (km 146,9) y Bismantova stone (km 181,1), which lead directly to the arrival in Castelnovo Ne 'Montiwith a last kilometer on climb. Although less demanding than San Pellegrino, these increases could be decisive for a well -organized escape to reach a port.
Therefore, this stage is emerging as one of the most open and strategic of the entire turn. There will be a fight from the flag for being part of the getaway of the day, especially between team corridors that no longer have options in the general, but legs to support the hardness of the route. At the same time, favorites will not be able to lose concentration: any cut can cost second seconds in the classification.
In addition, the stage comes just after a flat counterreloj, which could add tension to the day if there are runners who seek to recover or defend lost time. With names such as cousin Roglič and Thomas Pidcock beaten by a recent fall in stage 9, an uncertainty factor is added to how they will face this key day.
Stage 11 of the Italy 2025 has everything: mountain, history, tactics and emotion. And with the return of San Pellegrino as the protagonist, it can become one of the most memorable days of this edition.
