After the latest rest day at this year’s Giro d’Italia, it is now time for Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) to surely once again make a strong statement on Tuesday’s intriguing Stage 16.

While heavy snow has seen the Stelvio summit wiped from the route, the peloton still tackle most of the mythical climb before turning onto the Umbrailpass, which still has Cima Coppi status at 2,498m. And to make things more spicy, rain and snow are forecast.

Pogacar continues to lead the way in the general classification, and by some considerable distance after his thrilling and quite incredible triumph on Sunday’s mammoth Stage 15 in which he stormed to an unbelievable victory.

For Tuesday’s fascinating day of racing, the riders will have to negotiate the 206km route from Livigno to Santa Cristina Valgardena (Monte Pana) – will the 25-year-old be able to produce his magic yet again?
