Ed. Note: Looking at the climb maps and profiles available on the links, you may notice some differences, in both distances and average gradients, from the above data provided by "Gazzetta dello Sport". The reason is that authors of the maps on one side, and "Gazzetta" journalists on the other, may have taken into consideration different starting points for the same climb.
