Runners will face more vertical descent than vertical gain on tomorrow's fifth stage. Still, the day can hardly be called a walk in the park. A tough climb up to the ski resort Speikboden (1,984 meters asl) awaits the racers at the very end of the stage and sets them up for a final punishing plunge into our destination Sand in Taufers (870 meters asl). The stage adds up to 36,82 kilometers in distance, a cumulative vertical gain of 1447 meters and a total drop of 2,048 meters -- ouch!
