Franco Pellizotti on his way to winning the first edition of the Plan de Corones in 2008

After Monday's rest day, the climbing continues with the time trial on the Plan de Corones which is unpaved near the top. Franco Pellizotti won the first edition of the Plan de Corones test, and this year’s Giro uses the same course running from San Vigilio di Marebbe to the 2273 meter mark on the Plan de Corones. The maximum gradient is 24% and it resembles a mountain bike course more than a traditional road stage.
