FROM SENT TO CORTINA. Bad weather revolutionizes the Dolomite stage of the Giro d’Italia. Today’s 16th stage, from Sacile to Cortina of 212 km, is cut and redesigned with the cancellation of the two main climbs: the Marmolada and the Pordoi. Runners do not want to run in extreme conditions, in rain and snow at zero degrees and above all with the risk of falls on the descents. All the steps are passable, but it snows at the top and the problem is precisely the descents on icy roads. The route is shortened to 155 km. Departure scheduled at 11.30.
