For the first time since last Thursday, the Giro d'Italia cyclists won't be struggling uphill to the finish line on Wednesday.

Stage 18 is a 230km (143-mile) bike race from Feltre to Tirano
in the Alps. The peloton crosses a couple of passes, but
finishes on a downhill run.

The first climb is the Category 2 Passo del Tonale (1883m); the second is the Category 3 Passo dell'Aprica (1176m).

Those passes are mapped out here by CycingtheAlps.com.
