Giro d'Italia Preview: Stage 10

A look at the route and a few fantasy favorites for stage 10 of the Giro d'Italia.

Stage 10: Pompei to Cusano Mutri (Bocca della Selva) – 142 km | May 14, 2024

Where to watch: 🇺🇸 Max, 🇨🇦 FloBikes, 🇬🇧 Discovery+, 🇪🇺 Eurosport, 🇦🇺 SBS On Demand

Coverage start time: 🇺🇸 6:30 am EDT, 🇨🇦 6:55 am EDT, 🇬🇧 11:45 am BST, 🇪🇺 12:45 pm CEST, 🇦🇺 8:55 pm AEST

Estimated finish time: 🇺🇸🇨🇦 11:12 am EDT/🇬🇧 4:12 pm BST/🇪🇺 5:12 pm CEST/🇦🇺 1:12 am AEST

Stage type: Hilly (summit finish)

What to expect: After a rest day, the peloton will have its work cut out for it on a stage 10 with a great chance of GC action. After leaving from historic Pompei, the riders will cover plenty of up and down on an otherwise short stage. The Bocca della Selva climb is a stair-step affair with a particularly steep final 6 km.

Fantasy favorites: The very steep gradients on the final climb really suit Tadej Pogačar (of course), but the stage itself seems like a great day for the attackers, whether from the early move or in a longer-range strike out of the GC group once the day's first big break has been caught. Michael Storer, Einer Rubio, both Aurelien and Valentin Paret-Peintre, and Juan Pedro López are all worth watching ... if UAE does in fact let the rest of the field have some fun.
