Stage 11 of the Giro d’Italia 2026 is Porcari (Paper District) to Chiavari, a 195 km route scheduled for 2026-05-20. The official route lists it as hilly, and the race shape is a rolling Porcari to Chiavari stage with the decisive terrain stacked late.
How it should race: This sits between a breakaway day and a reduced-group finish, so aggressive teams can make the finale difficult to control.
Likely winner profile: Classics finisher or punchy climber.
Favorites: Jhonatan Narvaez, Antonio Morgado, Jan Christen, Andrea Vendrame, Christian Scaroni, Alberto Bettiol. This list is built from the current official team rosters and the route profile, with extra weight on the Giro’s own GC and stage-preview notes where available.
