Stage 17 - May 27: Brunico - Fondo Sarnonico, 153 Km

Passo della Mendola (m. 1.363) - km. 14.8 - Gradient: 6.5 percent Although there is only one climb on Stage 17, this transitional mountain stage after a rest day heads out of the Dolomiti and down through Bolzano, then up the long, steep Passo della Mendola and into Maurizio Fondriest's home territory of Val di Non. The final 54km circuit from the summit of the Mendola could cause problems, especially on the final circuit up to Fondo Sarnonico.
