There will be 10-6-4″ at every finish, plus 3-2-1″ at the intermediate sprints.
As the Giro d’Italia kicks off with three days in Hungary, most teams at the start have chosen to keep their staff in the country for an additional week and compete in the national stagerace, half the WorldTour set to take the start of a five-day event where the toughest courses will be covered in the weekend.
The mountain resort of Kékestető will hold, on Sunday 15th May, a long, yet gentle, decisive mountain-top finish, over 12km at 4% average. Before that, riders will have taken on a lumpy stage one in Székesfehérvár (Wednesday 11th), including two small climbs near the end, plus an up-and-down circuit in Kazincbarcika on Saturday 14th, though it’s most likely that the first four stages will end with group sprints.
