Giro d’Italia

Stage 17 of the Giro d’Italia 2026 is Cassano d’Adda to Andalo, a 202 km route scheduled for 2026-05-27. The official route lists it as hilly, and the race shape is a long hilly stage from Cassano d Adda to Andalo.

How it should race: This is a recovery-management test after the mountains, with enough climbing late to punish anyone fading.

Likely winner profile: GC rider or punchy climber with strong third-week recovery.

Favorites: Jonas Vingegaard, Adam Yates, Giulio Pellizzari, Thymen Arensman, Enric Mas, Michael Storer. 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.
