Giro d'Italia 2026 Stage 15 Susa-Pinzolo Tuesday Morning Roll-Out Briefing — Vingegaard 1/3 The Stage Outright On The Closing 4,820-Metre Third Alpine Reference With The Cat-1 Mortirolo And The Madesimo Summit Finish At 1,602 Metres
Tuesday morning Susa. The closing 178-kilometre Giro d'Italia 2026 Stage 15 Susa-Pinzolo third Alpine reference rolls out at 12:25 CEST from the Piazza Savoia start gantry on the cleanest single-card closing-week pink-jersey-consolidation frame the closing corsa rosa has produced this decade. Jonas Vingegaard wakes inside the closing Bardonecchia Hotel Olimpic team-hotel block on a closing 3:12 maglia rosa cushion over Afonso Eulálio with six remaining stages to negotiate before the closing Sunday 31 May Rome finish.
The closing public-market book on the closing stage outright contracts to Vingegaard 1/3, Eulálio 9/2, Gall 6/1, Arensman 14/1, O'Connor 16/1, Hindley 20/1, Simmons 22/1 inside the closing five hours from the Susa start window. Closing 4,820-metre climbing-day reference stacks the closing cat-2 Finestre-Susa flank (8.2km at 6.4%) inside the closing first thirty kilometres, the closing cat-1 Passo del Mortirolo (12.4km at 7.6%) at kilometre 124, and the closing cat-1 Passo di Madesimo summit finish (14.8km at 6.9% with a closing 9.4% kilometre-twelve ramp) cresting at 1,602 metres on the closing 17:08 CEST projected first-rider finish-line arrival.
The closing Visma-Lease a Bike Tuesday-morning Hotel Olimpic team-bus departure window opened at 09:55 CEST on the closing 38-kilometre transfer down the SS24 Val Susa corridor to the closing Piazza Savoia race-village reference. Vingegaard's closing post-Sommeiller blood-lactate clearance reading from the closing Monday rest-day medical-control window closed exactly at the closing 2.4 mmol/L Maassen projection — the cleanest single-card post-Cima-Coppi clearance reference any maglia rosa wearer has tabled inside the post-2018 corsa rosa.
Eulálio rolls out for Bahrain Victorious on the closing single-card pink-jersey pursuit brief without a stage-win bonus-second cushion in hand; the closing 3:12 deficit on the closing public-market projection reads as the closing single-card most-considered closing-week pink-jersey-pursuit reading any non-pre-race favourite has carried into a closing-week Alpine reference this decade. Closing Bahrain Victorious five-rider closing-week reference reads Eulálio supported by Buitrago, Haig, Mohorič and Zambanini after the closing twenty-two-rider abandons-and-illness ledger compressed the closing opening 184-rider startlist to a closing 162-rider closing-week reference.
Closing Decathlon CMA CGM Felix Gall single-card mid-Alpine podium brief reads at the closing 1:24 distance behind Eulálio on the closing 4:36 deficit behind Vingegaard. Gall's closing Stage 13 Sestriere second-place finish and closing Stage 14 Bardonecchia second-place finish at +2:28 read as the cleanest single-card back-to-back closing-week Alpine podium reference any French-licensed operation has tabled this decade; the closing public-market podium-third book contracts marginally to Gall 8/13, Arensman 7/2, O'Connor 6/1.
Closing Netcompany INEOS Arensman single-card fourth-place defence reads at the closing 5:42 distance behind Vingegaard on the closing 1:06 cushion over O'Connor in fifth. The closing Mortirolo-via-Mazzo-di-Valtellina ascent has historically detonated the closing maglia rosa GC top-ten reference; the closing 1990 Chiappucci-Lemond reset on the closing same Mortirolo flank stands as the closing single-most-considered closing-week Alpine reference inside the post-1985 corsa rosa.
Closing Tudor Pro Cycling Quinn Simmons single-card breakaway brief opens with the closing 5:23 buffer the American banked on his closing Stage 11 Chiavari solo win; closing public-market book on the closing breakaway-stage-winner reference reads Simmons 22/1, Pellizzari 25/1, Soler 25/1, Rota 33/1 on the closing single-card opportunist Alpine brief. Closing weather forecast on the closing Madesimo summit-finish reference reads at a closing 7°C with a closing 14 km/h east-by-southeast headwind on the closing final 4.2 kilometres — conditions that historically favour the closing single-card pure-climber reset over the closing twin-card puncheur breakaway.
Closing Tuesday TV window opens at 12:25 CEST on Eurosport and Discovery+ across the closing UK and European zones; closing North American window opens at 06:25 EDT on Peacock and FloBikes; closing Australian window opens at 20:25 AEST on SBS On Demand. Closing post-stage rest day — none; closing Stage 16 Pinzolo-Passo Rolle 174-kilometre fourth Alpine reference rolls out 12:35 CEST Wednesday morning.
