The profile of these climbs is similar to that of a major Alpine pass (French Alps), namely long false flats before the actual climb begins, but with more reasonable gradients than those the riders experienced during stage 17, for example.

Thus, the transitions between the passes should not feature attacks from the general classification contenders, who will most likely wait for the final climb to Alpe di Mera to make their move. This climb also offers generally consistent gradients around 9%, with some sections approaching 15%.
