An undying interest in high mountain passes by a German cycling fan will enable the BikingBis blog's 2011 Giro d'Italia report to include maps, profiles and streetviews of all the climbs in this year's bicycle race.

More about Dennis Wegewijs on Sunday, but suffice it to say that he is sharing data from his CyclingtheAlps.com website for the Giro climbs in the Alps and Dolomites, as well as Mount Etna.

Let's start with the climb on Stage 2 — Tabiano Castello. At 315 meters it's not a giant, but it's enough to break up the overall flatness of the 139-mile (224km) stage from Alba to Parma.

The first one across will wear the Giro's mountain jersey.

If you have Google Earth, you can see the climb in 3D here.
