Altimetry of the nineteenth stage
For the first 80 km (approximately) the stage does not present any particular altitude difficulties. Once past Tolmezzo the trend will undergo a certain upward movement, with the succession of climbs of the Passo Duron, going down the hill towards Cercivento and then back up with the Sella Valcada and finally the Cima Sappada. At around -7 from the finish line the road descends, with a finish that will still present up to 10% tears, until the final kilometer which flattens out.
