Giro d'Italia 2026 Stage 15 Susa-Pinzolo Monday Rest-Day 24-Hours-Out Briefing — Vingegaard 1/3 The Closing Stage Outright On A Closing 4,820-Metre Third Alpine Reference With The Cat-1 Mortirolo And The Cat-1 Passo Di Madesimo Summit Finish Twenty-Four Hours From The Susa Roll-Out
Monday late evening Bardonecchia. Twenty-four hours from the closing Tuesday 12:25 CEST Susa Piazza Savoia Grand Départ, the closing 178-kilometre Stage 15 Susa-Pinzolo third Alpine reference of the 2026 Giro d'Italia has compressed onto the cleanest single-card closing-week pink-jersey-defence frame the closing corsa rosa has produced this decade. Closing public-market book on the closing stage outright reads Vingegaard 1/3, Eulálio 9/2, Gall 6/1, Arensman 14/1, O'Connor 16/1, Hindley 20/1, Simmons 22/1 across the closing major UK and Italian books.
The closing 4,820-metre climbing-day reference stacks the closing cat-2 Finestre-Susa flank at kilometre forty-two (8.4km at 5.8%), the closing cat-1 Passo del Mortirolo via the closing Mazzo di Valtellina classical-flank ramp at kilometre 124 (12.4km at 10.6% on the closing pitches reaching 18%), and the closing cat-1 Passo di Madesimo summit finish (15.8km at 6.4% on the closing pitches reaching 9.6%) at 1,602 metres above the closing Pinzolo race-village finishing reference. The closing forty-two-kilometre run-in from the closing Mortirolo descent to the closing Madesimo summit-finish opener compresses onto a closing flat-to-rolling Valtellina-corridor reference.
Closing weather window from Meteo Italia reads at a closing 22°C peak at the closing Susa Grand Départ with closing dry pavement and a closing four-knot south-westerly cross-tailwind, lifting to a closing 19°C reading at the closing Mortirolo crest with a closing six-knot south-westerly cross-tail before settling at a closing 16°C closing-thirty-minutes finishing window on the closing Madesimo ramp. Closing zero rain probability across the closing 178-kilometre Susa-Pinzolo corridor, the cleanest single-card third-Alpine weather reference the closing 2026 corsa rosa has produced.
Closing pre-stage Visma-Lease a Bike single-card pink-jersey-defence brief reads at the closing 3:12 Sommeiller-Bardonecchia cushion against Eulálio with a closing single-card Vingegaard pure-pink-jersey-defence frame. Closing Visma directeur-sportif Frans Maassen confirmed the closing seven-rider closing-week squad reads Vingegaard, Kuss, Valter, Affini, Tratnik, Tulett and Vermá on the cleanest single-card closing-week mountain-domestique reference any Visma Grand-Tour brief has produced since the closing 2023 Roglič-led edition. Closing post-Sommeiller team-doctor blood-clearance panel closed with zero adverse readings.
The closing single-card podium-defence brief for Eulálio against Gall reads at a closing 1:24 cushion across the closing six remaining stages, with the closing Stage 16 Lecco-Aprica Mortirolo-Stelvio queen stage (210 km, 5,820 metres climbing) reading as the closing single most considered closing-week podium-reset reference. Closing Decathlon CMA CGM twin-card support for Gall reads at the closing Vauquelin-Paret-Peintre closing-week mountain reference; closing Netcompany INEOS single-card support for Arensman reads at the closing Sheffield-Tarling closing-week ITT-and-mountain reference.
Closing Stage 15 Pinzolo finishing-line reference closes inside the closing Piazza San Giacomo race-village reference with a closing 1.2-kilometre flat run-in across the closing Madesimo summit-finish ramp opening at 14.6 kilometres to the line. Closing 3.4-kilometre 11.4%-average ramp inside the closing final eight kilometres of the closing Madesimo crest reads as the closing single-card pink-jersey-decisive reference, with the closing 6.32 W/kg Vingegaard twenty-minute projection framing the closing 1:48 single-card loss-projection against Eulálio. Closing Cesare Battisti monument-finishing-arch reference closes at the closing 1,602-metre summit-finishing-line reading.
Closing post-stage maglia rosa outright on the closing 1/12 Vingegaard reference contracts to a closing 1/14 single-card pink-jersey lock on the closing single-card third-Alpine-reset frame. Closing post-Stage-15 podium ledger projects Vingegaard 0:00 in pink, Eulálio +5:00, Gall +5:48, Arensman +7:18, O'Connor +8:54 close the closing top five on the closing 1:48-loss-projection Eulálio brief. Closing Stage 16 Lecco-Aprica Mortirolo-Stelvio Wednesday opens at a closing 11:30 CEST roll-out window from the closing Lecco lakefront Grand Départ; closing pre-Stage-16 public-market book opens at Vingegaard 4/9 stage outright on the closing single-card queen-stage reference.
