The grand final in Verona will be preceded on Saturday 28 May by the Belluno stage. But there is still uncertainty on the path

The Giro d’Italia 2022 will be resolved on the Belluno climbs on Saturday 28 May.

From the (few) rumors that have leaked out in recent weeks, it emerges that the pink race will live its epilogue in the North East, with the last four fractions, a Friulian and two Venetian stages, as well as the arrival of Verona.

Thursday 26th a first Venetian stage, on which there are no details, then Friday 27th the fraction in Friuli, which could start from Lignano to end, after an encroachment in Slovenia, in the Natisone Valleys.

The following day the dolomitic fraction, on the roads of the province, while on Sunday 29th the grand final in Verona, as already several times in the history of the Giro, the last in 2019 with the time trial that at the Arena which saw the victory of the American Chad Haga and handed the endless trophy to the Ecuadorian Richard Carapaz.

Saturday 28 May 2022, therefore, the Giro is back on the Belluno roads after last May 24, with a spectacular stage, the Sacile – Cortina, “mutilated”, however, both for what regards the route (bad weather canceled the ascents at Fedaia and Pordoi), and as regards the television images (again due to bad weather, the final kilometers, with the attack of the Egan Bernal jersey on Giau, could be seen only deferred). One of the hypotheses that circulated in the aftermath of the Ampezzo stage is that in 2002 that fraction may be repeated, at least in part, precisely to “compensate” the territory for the lack of promotion.

The hypothesis is still on the table, just as on the table is the project on which the municipal administration of Auronzo has been working for a couple of years to bring the Giro back to the Auronzo refuge.

Curtain? Three Peaks? Another town in the upper part of the province? Even if the moment of the presentation approaches, everything still seems shrouded in uncertainty.

In the last few hours there has also been talk of a possible arrival in Nevegal, with the involvement of Alpago and Valbelluna, but even in this case there are many question marks.

Little is known about the 2022 pink race. Starting with the start, which could take place in Budapest (Prague the alternative). Also for 2020 the departure should have taken place abroad (Budapest), but the health emergency linked to Covid-19 then caused the project that had already been made official to be canceled.

Few certainties, therefore, both as regards the route as a whole and as regards the detail of the Venetian stages.

The detail, yes, because there is little doubt that the Veneto player plays an important part in the economy of the Giro.

The same governor Luca Zaia, moreover, last April on the occasion of the presentation of the Venetian stages of the Giro had assured that the Veneto “will also be the protagonist of the 2022 edition” and, addressing Mauro Vegni, director of the Giro, had asked that ” next year an important time trial will come back to Veneto and that we can think of a new, suggestive final arrival like that at the Verona Arena ».
