Giro Jot del Giorno - 5/6/2012

Even though the race is called the Giro d'Italia, the first 3 stages of this year's Tour of Italy is in Denmark. Denmark is not known for being very hilly, so it is not surprising that the first King of the Mountain points was awarded on a 4th category climb. The highest point in Denmark is only 173 meters, but today's "climb" at Osterbjerg was at an airy 47 meters. The third stage features the toughest climb during the Danish stages: climbing to 159 meters.
