Here we are ready to witness another head-to-head clash between climbers and overall contenders: stage 7 of the Giro Next Gen is the Bra - Prato Nevoso of 163 km and is the queen stage of the pink race.

The stage will be a continuous up and down throughout the day. From Bra to Dogliani, just after the 100 km mark, the stage retraces the challenging ups and downs of the Granfondo Bra-Bra, passing through Guarene, Neive, and Serravalle Langhe, to name a few. There are the mountain primes of Pedaggera and Bric San Bernardo, but the race will likely be decided on the final climb. It's 13 km of a fairly regular ascent at 7.2%, enough to try to make significant differences and attempt an assault on the Pink Jersey.
