🇬🇧The Isola 2000 San Bernolfo stage takes us to the
mythical riffugio Dahu de Sabarnui through the Italian border and the col de la Lombarde (2351 m) to then go to the Tesina pass (2400 m) and then after a long descent followed by a 200 m climb to reach San Bernolfo . All together 1330 m of vertical climb and 17 km

🇬🇧On the way to the Lombarde pass after leaving Isola 2000

🇬🇧Arrival at the magnificent Sant Anna sanctuary at approximately 2050 m after the long descent of the del Orgials valley from the col de la Lombarde

🇬🇧On the way to the Tesina pass

🇬🇧The Tesina Pass (2400 m ) A big thought for our friend Laurence and the whole team of yellow jerseys with vividly colored saltpetre.

🇬🇧The most physical part of the day starts in the descent from the Tesina pass with tricky river crossings

🇬🇧Followed by street fighting skiing in the forest . Pascal will lose his pickaxe at this exact spot which will force him to come back to pick it up on the following day with an additional 200 m vertical climb to an already tough day

🇬🇧Finally the refuge ! Really a magical place in Val Stura and a very pleasant evening with Beppe the boss
