Etappe 18 Giro d’Italia 2023 | Oderzo – Val di Zoldo

This is a full mountain stage. The route climbs the Passo della Crosetta (11 km, 7% gradient), reaching the Cansiglio, and then descends or undulates, twisting continuously, through the Piave valley, all the way to Pieve di Cadore. The race enters the Boite valley and climbs the Forcella Cibiana (9.6 km, 8% gradient), then enters the Val di Zoldo for the closing ascent.

Final kilometres
The last 15 km in the Val di Zoldo feature two categorised climbs. Coi, the first one, has uphill gradients of nearly 20%; the roadway is narrowed at points, but well paved. The finish is 5 km from the summit. A short descent leads into the final 3 km, with gradients hovering around 6%. Eight consecutive switchbacks lead into the home straight (300 m long and 7 m wide).
