Budapest, May 5, 2022 – Everything is ready Budapest for the way of Giro d’Italia 2022 scheduled for Friday 6 May from the Hungarian capital with a non-trivial stage that can immediately generate a show. There will be three Hungarian stages before the transfer to Italy where in Sicily the ascent towards the north and towards the Apennines and the Alps will begin, where the race will probably be decided. All you need to know about the first stage.
Fairly long first stage of 195 kilometers from Budapest to Visegrad, but with an interesting ending. Almost entirely flat hamlet on wide roads, worthy of mention are the flying goals of Szekesfehervar, kilometer 75, and Esztergom, kilometer 167. From here you will skirt the Danube up to Visegrad, with the last five kilometers slightly uphill to the Castle, and it is here that the race will be decided. Average gradients of 5%, maximum of 8%, perhaps it will not be a selective climb but it could get rid of some sprinters.
Difficult fraction to decipher, a sprinter could be favored but also a sprinter able to keep on gentle ramps. The bookmakers give Mathieu the favorite vanderpoel, but watch out for Caleb EwanBiniam GirmayAlejandro Valverde e Arnaud Get started. Among the Italians, watch out for Giacomo NizzoloDavide Dancers and Vincenzo Albanese.
