May 6 post: Stage 3 returns west finishing in Rapallo on the Italian Riviera just north of The Cinque Terre. In 1999, embattled Frenchman Richard Virenque (Team Polti) won the tricky stage 13 of 82nd Giro d'Italia (report and photo) that finished in Rapallo after four tough mountain passes. This year's stage 3 route misses the big climbs in the northern Apennine Mountains but there are two categorized climbs, a cat 3 and cat 4 in the latter half of the stage which will see some action.

Starting from the flats in Reggio Emilia, the peloton climbs the gradual Passo del Bocco (el. 950m) which has some steep sections near the top that will (temporarily?) split the peloton with 40 km to go in this 173 km stage. There is also a cat 4 inside of 10 km to go from the line, strategically located for launching a winning move and an unclassified hill 4 km from the line. The last km is slightly downhill. This stage sets up for a nervous bunch sprint on narrow, twisty roads. — Steve
