Another nice experience of this 3rd stage of the 2009 Giro d’Italia that started with a time trial in Venice. We are only 90 kms. north east from that beatifull city. Again these picks take 2 stages the 3rd and 4th. The one on the hills around Valdobbiadene where the famous Prosecco wine is made, offering beatifull views of the vineyards, the latter in the dolomites as the 4th stage was already bringing the riders to a stage finish close to 1.500 mts above sea level.
