Today stage Stage sharply divided into two parts:the first totally flat from Modena to the foot of Asolo of about 200 km and a second much more complex and that leads on arrival.It crosses the entire Po Valley.Also in this stage urban crossings are characterized by roundabouts, curbs, traffic islands and speed bumps.After Maser tackling the short climb, but very demanding of Fork Mostaccin (up to 16%)with subsequent challenging descent that leads to the hills of Monfumo Castelcucco and with a series of ups and downs that leads on the final climb to Asolo. A 5 km from the ' arrival climb to Asolo with a flight of 1 km around 7% that leads into the old town through a medieval gate and a stretch paved.Followed by a fast descent on a large road that ends at the last km.Last curve 900 me so long straight slightly arched off 7.5 m on perfectly level asphalt.
Ulissi the stage winer Diego Ulissi (Lampre) won the sprint the eleventh stage of the Giro. He was part of a group of three escaped with the pink jersey Bob Jungels and Andrew Amador. Launched nearly 800 meters from the finish, sprinting saw Ulissi get the better of Amador and Jungels
