The Stage 15 finish to the Col du Galibier at the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Giro d'Italia looks to be in serious doubt, according to reports. The towering mountain that reaches an air-sapping height of 2,642m has been hammered with heavy snow fall and despite massive efforts from Giro race organisers to ensure there is a passage to the finish, it appe๊ars to be not enough to ensure rider safety.

The stage route originall꧒y included a 149km trek from Cesana Torinese to the Col du Galibier and included passing over Mont Cenis shortly after leaving the start but that too will be reportedly cut from the agenda. The new start location will, according to , start from the base on the other side.

"Due to weatheജr conditions and a high risk of avalanches, the riders will not pass the Col du Mont Cenis, the stage will begin at the fo💖ot of the pass," read the report.

The stage finish will be pushed closer down the Galibier mountain with the Col du Telegraphe still to be tackled and finally reaching the new arrival at Les Verneys, just above the town🅠 of Valloire. Race organisers remain hopeful the snowploughs can clear the way to the top but at this🐟 stage that too looks unlikely.

"For the finish, it will be moved to a place called💫 Les Verneys just above Valloire and will not enter through the tunne♑l up the Galibier."
