Etappe 17 Giro d’Italia 2023 | Pergine Valsugana – Caorle

The route
The route has a slight downhill gradient and features no topographical impediment whatsoever. The stage crosses the Valsugana up to Bassano del Grappa, travels a short length of a trunk road (ss. 47) and then takes the provincial roads that run parallel to it, with narrower and moderately well‑surfaced roadway. After crossing the plain around Venice and Treviso on straight and well‑paved roads, with scarcely any bends, the route reaches Lido di Jesolo for the stage finale along the coast. As for all stages with several urban areas along the route, common traffic calming devices will be found. With 23 km to go, the route passes over a pontoon bridge, where the roadway narrows slightly.

Final kilometres
The final kilometres are played out on urban roads, with 4 straights connected by four bends. The roads are well paved and relatively wide. The home straight (600 m) is on 8 m wide tarmac.
