34 km STAGE 18 PHYSIOGNOMY: A flat start and a flat finish sandwich a muscle-burning climb in the middle of the stage climbing to a peak of 658m at Scollinamento...nothing to test the VO2 max too seriously, but with Paolo Savoldelli holding only a 58 second advantage over Gilberto Simoni and almost three weeks of racing in the legs, it will be there that the stage is won and lost.
