News on the RCUK website of Sir Brad staying on after last week's Giro del Trentino (as if that didn't have enough climbing in it..) to do a bit more climbing of key mountain stages plus the hill TT for the Giro - link.
The Giro d'Italia starts in Napoli on 4th May this year but soon heads North and spends lots of time up in North-East Italy.
In fact Stage 12 (Thursday 16th May) goes pretty much past the accommodation I've booked for La Pina! Right over the Montello hill also used on La Pina route and down to Treviso (see the main Rideventures website for the La Pina trip).
