Giro d'Italia Stage 13: Shortened and Chaotic Due to Adverse Weather.

Stage 13 of the Giro d'Italia has been shortened to 74.6km due to poor weather conditions, with the Grand St Bernard Pass cut from the route altogether. The decision was taken after a meeting between the teams and race organisers RCS Sport, with 19 of the 22 teams in the race voting to shorten the stage. The 199km stage will miss the already altered ascent of the Grand St Bernard Pass entirely, instead taking on the 15km climb past Verbier and follow the original route on to the summit finish at Crans-Montana.
