April 19 update: This year's Giro del Trentino culminates with a 13 km @ 6 % mountaintop finish on Passo Pordoi (profile), one of the famous passes that form the Sella Ring, an epic loop in the Dolomites. The Giro d'Italia last finished on Passo Pordo from the Valle Di Fassa side 11 years ago with Gilberto Simoni slipping into Pink after finishing second on the stage. For more details on the current stage, see the race summary table (right) for the stage profile, map and timetable. — Steve

April 4 update: As the Critérium du Dauphiné is to the Tour de France, the Giro del Trentino is to the Giro d'Italia. Both the Critérium du Dauphiné and the Giro del Trentino are mountainous stage race preludes to Grand Tours the following month in their respective countries. With the Giro d'Italia just three weeks away, this is one last chance for some riders to impress their team managers and make their team's selection.
This year's Giro del Trentino, the 36th edition, is the first year the race will be broadcasted live (Rai Sport and Eurosport). Last year, it was upgraded to 2.HC status so the race has made big advances the past two years with a more international field and live tv rights.
Of the four stages, there isn't a single stage suited to sprinters; this is strictly a climber and tt stage race. We'll start off with a short (14.3) TTT in Riva del Garda, a common starting point for this event, followed by a hilly stage and two mountain stages all ending in either hilltop or summit finishes. The race culminates with a mountaintop finish on the famous Passo Pordoi. It should be interesting to see who shows their cards and who is out for training.
