Tours most with.

Skillet, formed in 1996, are an American Christian rock band hailing from Memphis, Tennessee. The band were tanked in the Hardest Working Bands of 2011 due to their intense touring schedule.

The band, consisting of the married couple John and Korey Cooper, lead vocals, bass, and rhythm guitar, keys, and backing vocals respectively, have sold well over 2million albums in the US. Their other band members, Seth Morrison and Jen Ledger fill in the sound with drums, vocals, and lead guitar. With eight studio albums under their belt, the band have been nominated for several awards, including Grammy nominations, and their album Awake placed at number 2 on the Billboard 200 as it entered the chart, and their album Comatose was certified Gold.

Although the band have been through several line up changes, they have remained consistent and haven’t slowed their intense touring schedule. Band members Cooper and Sterots who formed the original line up met through tours with their own bands and began collaborating before forming the first generation of Skillet. Over the years, throughout the changes, the bands sound has developed and evolved, but maintains their original undertones, never straying from their Christian rock vibe and message.

The crossover of Christian music and rock makes the sound accessible to the masses, and has gained the band much credibility and critical acclaim over the years. As well as headlining their own tours, the band have toured alongside other artists such as Three Days Grace and Seether.

Live reviews

Ever been to a Skillet concert?

I have!!!! Last year at Soulfest 2013 the last night my friend Kim and I went and I have to say I loved it and enjoyed their energy. Playing under the stars in Gilford New Hampshire they were on fire. There were 10,000 screaming people there, people even brought skillets!!!!! They have excellent pyro they set off during their songs but that is not all, they reach people who believe in God and who might be struggling with their belief. Some of the songs they sang off their new album called Rise were American Noise, and Sick of it. American Noise was my favorite song because they set off fireworks over the stage. Some of the other songs they played were awake and alive and rebirthing which they also used pyro for, but their main focus isn't about setting off pyro every night or how good it looks, it is about God and reaching people of all ages. Skillet has eight albums out, two of them receiving Grammy nominations. They were formed in Memphis Tennessee. If you have not been to a Skillet concert then I recommend you go to one and enjoy the show! I did.

Report as inappropriate

Skillet was amazing. They featured a surprisingly intense guitar playing, and their addition of violin and cello was awesome. They opened up with 'Hero' (my fave song) and closed with another great hit. They were the first band I ever saw to use pyrotechnics, which was impressive. I was not as big of a fan of the proselytizing between songs, or the slower songs in the middle of the set, as their singer really can't sing melodic songs that well (which he admits) not that it stops him. I'd enjoy them more on a non-religious bill (like maybe Uproar Fest) more since hearing preaching was a waste of my time as a non-religious fan of their music.

Hello Everybody,

GO SEE SKILLET LIVE!!

Or more specific:

It was my son’s first concert. I’d never heard of Skillet before. It’s the type of music I like so he let me hear a few songs. Not bad. When I sam them live yesterday I was like wow!

The band has so much energy and power.

It’s firework on stage!! You can’t miss the frontman!!! Nice interactions with all the people. The band is a must see. Big compliments to the female drummer. She is fantastic!!! Any chance they might wanna perform in Metropool at Hengelo Ov.

skillet was amazing i really enjoyed it they played all there songs amazingly like usual and at the end they walked off stage and we all chanted for them to come back and they did i really like it when they played my favriote song resistance overall i rate them a 10/10 for there gig at sydney opera house i did go to the winterfest 2017 were they played and i have been to a couple of there concerts in america they are a reallly amazing and talented band they and john cooper really involves the crowd

Went to the show not really having any expectations but left impressed. The band had great energy on stage and the flowed through to the crowd. During songs like Monster the whole floor was jumping, which from the balcony was really cool to watch.

Also, first show at the venue and was really impressed. Nice intimate venue where you can get a good view of the stage from almost anywhere.

All in all a great show in a great venue, would definitely do it again and recommend it to others.

Skillet sounded amazing live! They played good songs, introduced me to some of their songs I'd never heard before, and performed a lot of old favorites as well. I loved the songs with the cello and piano in them, that was a creative idea on their part. John, Korey, Jen, and Seth are extremely talented people and I'm glad I got to go see them perform live. I'll definitely go to one of their concerts again if I get the chance. :)

The group was great. Impressive energy and Good feeling with the audience. The organisation was the worst I have seen. Only one entry with 3 people.1to check the ticket and 2 for security check. Which resulted in an never-ending queue. Inside no place for children So if you want to bring your child to a concert don't go there. And in the end the people there were very unfriendly. That was my last concert there.

I have never seen Skillet live before. I have listened to their music for years so I was hoping that they would be good, but instead they were great, exciting and put on a very amazing and energetic show! I hope to see them again many more times in concert. Everyone in the group sounds and plays just like they do on their records, nobody has lost their original voice or instrumental talent.

I saw Skillet on the Carnival of Madness tour in 2013 and they did an amazing job! It's hard to compete with performances from Papa Roach and Shinedown, but Skillet made all panheads proud with their performance! Elevating platforms with a screen that played their music videos in the background! Plus the violinists looked awesome! I am looking forward to my next Skillet concert now!

I'm a huge fan of skillet and the music was good my only issue is the security many people were drunk off there ass and smoking weed security should have did something kids were at this concert and the security was extremely rude if skillet ever comes to CT it shouldn't be at the Xfinity theater

Event Details

On Victorious, one of the best-selling rock bands of the 21st century, two-time GRAMMY® Award-nominated, Pandora Billionaires Club recipients, multiplatinum Wisconsin quartet SKILLET—John Cooper [lead vocals/bass], Korey Cooper [guitar/keys], Jen Ledger [drums/vocals], and Seth Morrison [lead guitar]—write the soundtrack to triumph. An undying spirit humbly asserted and affirmed the band as one of this generation’s most successful rock acts. However, as all classic underdog stories do, it happened quietly under the radar. By 2019, they not only garnered a pair of GRAMMY® Award nods and sold over 12 million albums worldwide, but they also took home a Billboard Music Award for the double-platinum Awake. Its breakout single “Monster” remains “one of the most-streamed rock songs of all-time” with over 3 Billion global audio streams. 2016’s Unleashed bowed at #3 on the Billboard Top 200. Going #1 on Rock Radio, the lead single “Feel Invincible” cracked 150 million global audio streams and went platinum. Meanwhile, the gold-certified Unleashed became their fourth consecutive album to receive either a gold, platinum, or double-platinum status. To date, nine original tunes earned RIAA recognition in tandem with high-profile syncs by everyone from WWE and Marvel to ESPN and NFL. Between selling out arenas on four continents, the group performed on CONAN and graced the pages of USA Today and The New York Times, Skillet's graphic novel, EDEN: A Skillet Graphic Novel with Z2 Comics, has become the publisher’s best-selling book of all time. Skillet's follow up graphic novel, Eden II: The Aftermath is out now.

Skillet biography.

Saturday 13 April 2024

Not every rebellion gestates in darkness. As one of the best-selling rock bands of the 21st century, SKILLET continue to rebel against conventions, doubts, expectations, and rules with the intent to uplift in light. SKILLET have never compromised their integrity or their faith. Instead, they have travelled their own path to unprecedented heights with an urgent sound, undeniable energy, and unbreakable spirit.

The Wisconsin quartet have embodied rock ‘n’ roll’s evolution from day one, selling 12 million albums worldwide to date. Landmark Triple Platinum album Awake , featuring the 2x-platinum track Awake & Alive , 3x-platinum track Hero and 4x-platinum track Monster (one of the most-streamed rock songs in history with over 4 BILLION global audio streams) went on to pick up the Billboard Music Award. The band’s 2019 album, Victorious , marked the group’s fourth consecutive Top 20 debut on the Billboard Top 200. Their brand new album, Dominion , is a testament to the band’s enduring appeal, charting strongly and with sales that truly defy the international trend of declining album sales.

John Cooper (lead vocals/bass), Korey Cooper (guitar/keys), Jen Ledger (drums/vocals), and Seth Morrison (lead guitar) —create epic, expansive and anthemic music: the type of rock that is tailor made for a live setting; and New Zealand will have an all too rare chance to experience the glory that is a Skillet live show this April.

“The room was instantly captivated, singing along in a roar.”

(Rock On Purpose)

"Every member of Skillet is a true showman, not merely playing instruments but actively entertaining the crowd; Their performances are a joy to experience keeping the audience engaged from start to finish."

(Hunny Pot)

"Skillet arrive like conquering heroes, delivering big hooks and a full-on hard rock show... they mean business!"

(The Razors Edge)

*No Dirty Honey ABOUT SKILLET: One of the best-selling rock bands of the 21 st  century, two-time GRAMMY® Award-nominated multiplatinum Wisconsin quartet Skillet—John Cooper [lead vocals/bass], Korey Cooper [guitar/keys], Jen Ledger [drums/vocals], and Seth Morrison [lead guitar]—write the soundtrack to triumph. An undying spirit humbly asserted and affirmed the band as one of this generation’s most successful rock acts. However, as all classic underdog stories do, it happened quietly under the radar. By 2019, they not only garnered a pair of GRAMMY® Award nods and sold over 12 million albums worldwide, but they also took home a  Billboard Music Award  for the double-platinum  Awake  and were welcomed into Pandora’s Billionaires club after clocking over 2 billion streams. Its breakout single “Monster” remains  “one of the most-streamed rock songs of all-time”  with 285 global audio streams. 2016’s  Unleashed  bowed at #3 on the  Billboard  Top 200. Going #1 on Rock Radio, the lead single “Feel Invincible” cracked 150 million global audio streams and went platinum. Meanwhile, the gold-certified  Unleashed  became their fourth consecutive album to receive either a gold, platinum, or double-platinum. To date, nine original tunes earned RIAA recognition in tandem with high-profile syncs by everyone from WWE and Marvel to ESPN and NFL. Between selling out arenas on four continents, the group performed on  CONAN  and graced the pages of  USA Today  and  New York Times , to name a few. In 2018 alone, the band clocked 1 billion streams. This momentum continues on their 2019 tenth full-length,  Victorious . With the bulk produced by Korey and John, it lives up to its name for Skillet as their most triumphant body of work yet. ABOUT ALTER BRIDGE: Alter Bridge  burst onto the music scene in 2004 with the release of their gold-selling debut,  One Day Remains.  In 2007, the band released  Blackbird , the album that elevated the band’s profile worldwide. The epic solo in the title track “Blackbird” was voted “Greatest Guitar Solo Of All Time” by Guitarist Magazine.  ABIII  was released in 2010 and the single “Isolation” gave the band their first #1 single. In 2013, the band reached an elevated creative and critical plateau with  Fortress . It bowed at #12 on the  Billboard  Top 200, moving over 30,000 copies first-week and earning unanimous tastemaker praise. The record garnered perfect scores from  Total Guitar  and  KERRANG!  as well as acclaim from  Billboard ,  The Guardian ,  Loudwire ,  Ultimate Guitar , and many more. In between sold out tours in Europe and North America, the guys appeared on VH1 and graced the cover of  Classic Rock Magazine  who labeled  Fortress , “The best thing they’ve ever done,” while Eddie Trunk called it, “A top 10 album of the last 10 years.” 2016’s  The Last Hero  gave the band their first Top 10 album since their debut. Alter Bridge has appeared on The Tonight Show and Jimmy Kimmel Live and their music has been used by the WWE, Major League Baseball and NASCAR to name a few. The band recently released the video and audio of their career highlight,  Live At The Royal Albert Hall,  featuring  Alter Bridge  backed by the 52-piece Parallax Orchestra led by conductor Simon Dobson.

Giro d'Italia 2024 route: Stelvio, gravel sectors and a new climb all on the menu

The Italian Grand Tour takes place 4-26 May, building up to tough Dolomites crescendo

• Individual stage profiles

The iconic Passo dello Stelvio , gravel sectors and a tough new climb all feature in the route of the 2024 Giro d'Italia, which begins next Saturday.

The 107th edition of the Italian Grand Tour will begin in Piemonte on 4 May and finish in Rome three weeks later. 

The Giro d'Italia will open with a Grande Partenza in Turin, before a category-one summit finish on day two in Biella. 

It is a challenging parcours which includes two individual time trials, six mountain finishes and a final-week crescendo in the Dolomites. 

After the Grande Partenza, stage three will be the first of a trio favouring the fastmen. On day six, the flat tarmac will then give way to gravel tracks, when sectors of Strade Bianche 's famous sterrato will take over the race route. 

Stage seven will offer the first of two individual time trials. Finishing on an ascent in Perugia, this initial race against the clock stretches out 37.2km from Foligno and promises to force gaps between the GC favourites. 

The first week will then close with two challenging stages: a mountains test on day eight, finishing atop the Prati di Tivo, followed by a winding course into Napoli on stage nine.

After a rest day, the second week will leave the famous archeological site of Pompeii and head towards the country's Adriatic coast. Stages 11, 12 and 13 come with their own complications, but are all expected to finish in sprints. 

A second individual time trial comes on day 14, 31km in length, and held on a flat course, finishing on the shores of Lake Garda. 

Stage 15, the race's longest at 220km, is also one of its most difficult. Leaving Lake Garda, the peloton will head into the Alps, via Switzerland, and finish at altitude on a new climb in Livigno - the Mottolino - whose summit is yet to be laid with asphalt.  

Another rest day then follows, before the iconic Stelvio stars on stage 16, after a four-year absence. The mountain pass will come midway through the day, which again stretches out over 200km through the mountains. 

Stage 17 will be considerably shorter, at 154km, but just as tough, finishing with a double ascent of the Brocon Pass in the Dolomites. 

After two easier days, the penultimate stage also features a double ascent, this time in the form of the Monte Grappa, before a descent to the line in the foothills. 

On 26 May, the winner of the 2024 Giro d'Italia will be crowned on the streets of Rome, with a city circuit closing out the 107th edition. 

Primož Roglič (Jumbo-Visma) won the 2023 edition of the race , taking the pink jersey off Geraint Thomas's shoulders in a penultimate day individual time trial. 

This year, Thomas will return to challenge for the crown once again, but will have to do battle with another Slovenian, this time coming up against Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) .

Giro d'Italia 2024 Stage Table

Full route map.

Stage by stage guide

Stage one:  Saturday 4 May Venaria Reala > Torino I Hilly I 143 kilometres

Torino will host what will be a sombre start to the 2024 Giro d’Italia, marking the 75th anniversary of the tragic Superga air disaster in which the majority of Torino FC’s all-conquering team of its era died. 

They will be commemorated on the Superga climb featured halfway into the stage, while the racing will likely kick off 40km later on the steep 7.4% slopes of the 6km Colle Maddalena. 

Even without the late addition of an uncategorised 1.5km that rises at 10%, the Maddalena alone is hard enough to ensure a puncheur or climber rather than a sprinter will don the edition’s first pink jersey.

Stage two: Sunday 5 May  San Francesco al Campo > Santuario di Oropa (Biella) I Hilly I 161 kilometres

Any wannabee pink jersey winner hoping to gently ease themselves into the race is in for a rude awakening today, for what is the earliest summit finish of any edition for 35 years. 

That summit is Oropa, a mountain made famous when in 1999 Marco Pantani won atop it despite dropping his chain at the bottom. 

With an average gradient of 6.2%, it’s not necessarily one for the pure climbers, as Tom Dumoulin proved by winning here in 2017. Only 10 riders finished within a minute of Dumoulin that day, suggesting that an early but clear GC hierarchy will be formed. 

Stage three: Monday 6 May Novarra > Fossano I Flat I 166 kilometres

Sprinters tend to be an emotional lot, so we can only imagine how they feel about having to drag themselves up a mountaintop finish before they’ve had a chance to compete for a stage win. 

They’ll try to channel that indignance into adrenaline for today’s nailed-on bunch finish, although even this parcours isn’t without complications with a slight uphill in the final kilometres. 

The rest of the stage is really as straightforward as a Giro d’Italia gets, though, and the riders can afford to daydream about risotto for dinner as they pass through the fields where Arborio rice is grown. 

Stage four: Tuesday 7 May Aqui Terme > Andora I Flat I 190 kilometres

The roads covered today will be familiar to many cycling fans, as the second half of the stage hugs the same Ligurian coastline that features every spring at the Milan-Sanremo monument. 

Whereas that race continues for another 50km or so, towards the Cipressa and Poggio hills that tend to dash the hopes of pure sprinters, this will end abruptly just after the uncategorised Capo Mele climb. 

Considering this small hill doesn’t even have an effect as part of that much longer, more energy-sapping race, the sprinters shouldn’t have any problems getting up it today and contesting in a bunch sprint. 

Stage five: Wednesday 8 May Genova > Lucca I Hilly I 178 kilometres

Any sprinter unhappy with missing out on the last two days should get another chance today – but they’ll have to make the most of it, as this will be the last until stage nine. 

They will have to negotiate the lengthy but gentle Passo del Bracco early on, but nobody was distanced when it appeared during a stage of last year’s race, when it featured similarly far from the finish. 

The 113km that follow contain no obstacles or traps aside from a 4.7km category-four climb with manageable gradients averaging just 3.6%, meaning a sprint inside the old city walls of Lucca is likely. 

Stage six: Thursday 9 May Torre del Lago Puccini (Viareggio) > Rapolano Terme I Hilly I 180 kilometres 

Following Tuesday’s Milan-Sanremo-style stage, today uses the other great Italian spring Classic as its blueprint – Strade Bianche, and the dirt roads and Chianti Hills of Tuscany that make it such a unique challenge. 

These roads wreaked havoc the last time they featured at the Giro, in 2021, when Egan Bernal took control of the race while main GC rival Remco Evenepoel floundered and conceded over two minutes. 

This stage isn’t quite so hard, containing three dirt road sectors rather than four, but it’s still enough to throw a spanner in the works of the GC race and be costly for contenders uncomfortable on the gravel. 

Stage 7: Thursday 9 May Individual time trial Foligno > Perugia 38.5 kilometres

The Giro's longest time trial since 2017 packs a punch that is very likely to shake the general classification tree, with its 6.5 kilometre climb to the finish in the Umbrian capital of Perugia. 

With the race featuring the summit finish on the category-one climb as early as stage two, when the riders tackle the category-one ascent to Santuario di Oropa, the GC is likely to already have taken the first hint of a shape. 

What's in a time trial?

While any Grand Tour time trial can offer up some handy GC pointers, a mid-race time trial is a limited barometer. Last year, for example, Remco Evenepoel won the stage nine test, and promptly retired with Covid. 

The next most recent mid-race ITT was won by Filippo Ganna in 2020 and then Primoz Roglič in 2019 – neither of whom went on to take victory. 

The final TT – often hilly or even mountainous – is often a better indicator. This year's stage 14 test is flat however, and could well baulk that rule.

Today's time trial is the next likely skirmish in the race-long battle for the maglia rosa and will give the bigger boned, bigger-engined GC men something to sink their teeth into. That finishing climb means they won't have it all their own way though, and is likely to play a major role in deciding the day's winner. Its 4.2% gradient means it's hardly mountain goat territory, but it could keep the biggest TT guys off the top podium step.

Starting in Foligno, the riders head north-west on 32km of flat and pretty much straight road, passing a time check in the town of Santa Maria Degli Angelo at 16.6km. At 32km they begin climbing towards the finish in the centre of the beautiful mediaeval city of Perugia. 

They will have to kick hard to begin with, with the first 1,500m averaging 10%, before settling into a far more welcome 2.5% for the final five kilometres.

Stage 8: Saturday 11 May Spoleto > Prati di Tivo I Mountains I 153 kilometres

Whereas most of the opening week is spent travelling southwards along the western side of the country, and the second week back up north via the east, today is a rare exception that ventures into the Apennine mountains running through the middle of the peninsular. 

Prati di Tivo hosts the finish, a steady, unforgiving grind that rises at a demanding 7% for over 14km. It hasn’t featured at the Giro since 1975, but the fact that riders of the calibre of Chris Froome and Tadej Pogačar have won here at the Tirreno-Adriatico stage race suggests whoever is the strongest climber can today seize control. 

Stage 9: Sunday 12 May Avezzano > Napoli I Hilly I 214 kilometres

The last two Giro visits to Napoli were finely balanced contests between escapees and sprinters, with the unfortunate Alessandro De Marchi and Simon Clarke denied a mere few hundred metres from the line by a fast-finishing bunch led home by Mads Pedersen last year, and Thomas De Gendt defeating the peloton with a successful break in 2022. 

This year the advantage has shifted a little towards the sprinters, with less climbing in total, but there’s plenty still to make life difficult for them – the stage’s punishing length, the potential for hot, stuffy weather, technical urban roads, and a series of small hills in the final 40km. 

Stage 10: Tuesday 14 May Pompei > Cusano Mutri I Hilly I 142 kilometres

Following yesterday’s rest day, the riders are eased back into racing for what is the second shortest road stage of the race, but with the caveat that the last 18 of those 142 kilometres are spent climbing to the summit finish at Bocca della Selva. 

Like many climbs of its excessive length, it’s a mountain of many phases, made up of a gentle first two-thirds preceding a final 6.5km rising at 7.2%, which the favourites would be wise to wait for before attacking. 

With heat a potential factor for what is this Giro’s southernmost stage, this will be a sapping day.  

Stage 11: Wednesday 15 May Foiano di Val Fortore > Francavilla I Flat I 207 kilometres

There has been a clear effort this year by the organisers to reduce the length of stages, so much so that today’s lengthy trek northwards through Molise and along the Adriatic coast is one of only four to exceed 200km. 

It’s also, save for the shallow 7km San Bartolomeo climb tackled towards the start of the day, completely flat, making it the kind of day TV commentators have nightmares about, as they strain to fill the airwaves against the backdrop of no action. 

They’ll be praying the wind blows, which could potentially burst the race into life during the final 100km of exposed coastal roads.

Stage 12: Thursday 16 May Martinsicuro > Fano I Hilly I 190 kilometres

Italians use the phrase ‘tappa dei muri’ to describe a parcours like today’s: a ‘stage of walls’, a kind of death by thousand cuts in which rather than being exposed to one, big climb, the riders must take on multiple small hills. 

There are four climbs officially, and many more uncategorised rises, meaning this will be a day for the puncheurs or the sprinters, either via an early breakaway or out of the peloton with a late attack. And who knows, maybe even a brave GC contender will use the steep ramps of one of the late rises to try and gain some time?

Stage 13: Friday 17 May Riccione > Cento I Flat I 179 kilometres

The second week’s long journey north continues with a stage through the plains of Emilia-Romagna that is one the flattest days of the whole Giro. It’s therefore surely one for the sprinters, as was the case the last time Cento hosted a stage finish 29 years ago when Ján Svorada was awarded victory after Mario Cipollini was relegated for dangerous riding. 

It’s the last chance for a bunch sprint for almost a week, and for some the last of the race – there will be those who give into the temptation to navigate the closely-looming Alps via an aeroplane home rather than by bike. 

Stage 14: Saturday 18 May Castiglione Delle Stiviere > Desenzano del Garda I Individual time trial I 31.2 kilometres

“Of the two [time trials]”, said former world champion and home favourite Filippo Ganna at the route presentation, “the one in Desenzano is the most suitable for me”, and it’s easy to see why. 

This is flatter than stage seven’s time trial in Perugia, without a single climb to break the riders’ rhythm, and contains multiple twists and turns to further aid specialists with more refined techniques.  

If the GC favourites are evenly matched in the mountains, this could be the decisive stage of the race – although a similarly long and flat time trial last year saw them separated by mere seconds. 

Stage 15: Sunday 19 May Maberba del Garda > Livigno (Mottolino) I mountains I 220 kilometres

Generally speaking, this is a relatively modest Giro, with race director Mauro Vegni estimating that there is “about 20%” less climbing than last year. No such restraint has been shown today, however, a stage that is the longest and quite possibly hardest of the race. 

There are five climbs, the highlights being the mighty Mortirolo (albeit via its ‘easier’ side) and similarly massive Passo di Foscagno. 

Both are more than hard enough to ensure we won’t have to wait for the shorter but viciously steep final climb to the high-altitude finish at Livigno for the GC action to kick off. 

Stage 16: Tuesday 21 May Livigno > Santa Cristina Valgardena I Mountains I 202 kilometres

This mountain stage would be hard enough without the additional boast of being one of just four stages coming in over the 200km mark. Crucially, it also falls immediately after a rest day, which itself falls immediately after another summit finish. All of these factors combined are going to make for a very difficult day out that could leave GC hopefuls even more vulnerable to losing chunks of time than the profile suggests.

The rest day blues

This year's Giro d'Italia features the Grand Tour standard two rest days, coming on the Mondays of the second and third weeks. 

You might imagine the riders kicking back in a pavement cafe or sleeping the day away. No chance. That could trick the body into entering recovery mode – not what a GrandTour rider wants when there's a mountain stage the next day. 

Solution? Go for a ride – a proper one. On last season's Giro d'Italia for example, Sepp Kuss (Jumbo-Visma) rode 60km (37.5 miles) on the first rest day. 

Those vulnerable riders will be put to the sword in the most severe fashion early on in the stage as the peloton meets the infamous Stelvio climb, which they begin climbing with 33km done and do not finish until a shade over 20km later, having averaged 7.2% along the way, and overcome gradients of up to 15% halfway up. Coming so early in the stage, GC attacks are unlikely, though anyone with bad legs after the rest day could easily find themselves distanced. Equally the climb could act as the springboard for the day's break, but they will need a major gap when they reach the final 35km if they want to stay away.

This is where they'll meet the cat-one Passo Pinei (23.4km / 4.9%) and the cat-two finish climb of Santa Cristina (7.6km / 6.1%), both featuring 15% slopes. The maglia rosa is unlikely to be won today, but there will be nervous riders on the start line in Livigno and by the end of the stage the GC hopes of more than one rider are likely to have been tempered.

Stage 17: Wednesday 22 May Selva di Valgardena > Passo del Brocon I Mountains I 159 kilometres 

It's time to go big. With five climbs in the high mountains, this stage looks set to form a key battleground in the general classification. With only one more mountain stage after this one – and that is three days away – the GC riders have carte blanche to go for broke on what is the last summit finish of the race. 

The finishing climb itself doesn't present the most intimidating stats, topping out well under 2,000m at 1,603m, with a moderate average gradient of 6.5%. It is, however, just shy of 12km long and features a nasty looking three-kilometre section around two-thirds of the way up at 10.5% average – with ramps of 13%. That is sure to unsettle anyone going into the final part of the day already reeling from the trio of cat-one climbs that have already been dispatched.

One of the numerous climbs familiar to anyone who has ridden the famous Maratona dles Dolomites challenge ride, the Passo Sella is 9km long at 7.3% and crucially tops out at 2,244m. 

It will be taken at anything but leisurely pace on today's stage, and riders will be warming up thoroughly around the team buses beforehand, ready for a potential out-of-the-blocks onslaught as those GC leaders who are feeling good seek to catch out those who don't. 

In their own special way, these three are all pretty much as hard as the other. Starting at Val Gardena, not far from the Austrian border, the race plunges south, taking on the Passo Sella straight out of the blocks (see boxout). Having reached the summit the riders enjoy a near-40km descent to the foot of the Passo Rolle. This is long, at 19.8km, with a low average gradient of 4.6%, in part due to a few kilometres of respite halfway up. 

The cat-three Passo Gobbera will be tackled as a matter of course before the riders take on the Passo Brocon for the first time – from the north-west – before looping south and coming at it again from its harder approach, this time for the stage finish.

Stage 18: Thursday 23 May Fiera di Primiero > Padova I Flat I 171 kilometres

There’s nothing to encourage breakaways in today’s parcours, which brings the riders out of the Alps while studiously avoiding the hills of the local Prosecco vineyards, but that doesn’t make it a guaranteed day for the sprinters. Bunch sprints are hard to force this late into a Grand Tour. 

In fact, before Alberto Dainese’s triumph at stage 17 last year, there hadn’t been one during the final week of a Giro since 2018. 

The sprinters’ teams will therefore need to diligently prevent too big or too strong a breakaway forming, then still have the numbers, and the resolve, to commit to bringing them back.  

Stage 19: Friday 24 May Mortegliano > Sappada I Hilly I 157 kilometres

The riders head back into the Alps today, but are the climbs hard enough to reignite the GC race? The Passo Duron is too short and Cima Sappada too shallow to be rated higher than a category two, and the steepest 3km stretch of over 8% on the latter comes perhaps too far from the finish (7km) to incentivise attacks. 

That said, history proves these roads can transform a race: in 1987, during a similarly benign-looking mountain stage, Stephen Roche sneakily slipped out of the peloton on a descent, and pushed on to take several minutes and the pink jersey from his apoplectic teammate Roberto Visentini.  

Stage 20: Saturday 25 May Alpago > Bassano del Grappa I Mountains I 181 kilometres

It may not be a summit finish but there is little doubt that whoever wins this outlandish stage will be a super climber – and utterly spent by the end of it. Not unlike the archetypal football match, this is a stage of two halves. The first is a story of comparatively flat terrain, with a few lumps near the beginning – including the category-four climb of Muro di Ca'del Poggio (no relation) after 30km.

The 'fun' begins at 85km, very close to the halfway mark, as the riders embark on the first ascent of the mammoth cat-one Monte Grappe climb. Its 18.5km slopes begin all the way down at 187m above sea level, averaging a relentless 8% right up to the top at 1,675m. In particular, fans will delight and riders will despair at the final four kilometres, which average a brutal 9.5% and feature slopes of up to 17%.

Monte Grappa - the power of 10

Tough as the Giro's riders will find Monte Grappa today, they should perhaps be grateful that organisers did not present them with a tougher route up it. 

There are 10 different approaches to the climb, three of which average 10% – and they're all longer too. 

Amateur riders can earn a gold Brevetto del Monte Grappa by completing all of these ascents, with silver and bronze also available for those taking on six or three respectively. 

What's more, when this beast has been dispatched, the riders will find themselves looping around the base of it to begin the undertaking all over again. Once it has been tackled twice they will find a 25km descent with a handful of flat kilometres to the finish awaiting them, during which time a lot can happen. 

The GC riders will need to be ready to battle hard on that last downhill, and there could be a number of heart-in-mouth moments before the winner of the stage – and indeed the final maglia rosa (for tomorrow is a flat, processional stage in Rome) – is decided.

Stage 21: Sunday May 26 Rome > Rome I Flat I 122 kilometres

Rome again hosts the finale of the Giro, where last year Mark Cavendish, ever the man to rise to the occasion, triumphed on his last ever day at the Giro. The circuit this year is a little different, but fundamentally the same, in that it’s flat and sure to end in a sprint. 

The twisty urban roads mean the sprinters will need a teammate (or, as Cavendish found in Geraint Thomas last year, an old friend) to help guide and protect them, before being unleashed on the Champs Elysees-esque finishing straight along the lightly cobble Via di San Gregorio against the picturesque backdrop of the Colosseum.
