technical info

A very hilly and demanding stage packed with climbs. Around halfway through, the riders tackle the ascent of Sassotetto (Valico di Santa Maria Maddalena). The race then reaches Camerino via the eastern side of the city before entering a 29.1 km finishing circuit to be covered twice. The circuit is extremely tough, featuring repeated ups and downs around Crispiero. After the turnaround in Castelraimondo, the road rises gradually toward the final 3 km on the Madonna delle Carceri wall, with gradients reaching up to 18%. The finish is located in the town centre at the top of the third ascent.
 
Final kilometers
The final kilometres consist of the Madonna delle Carceri wall, already climbed twice earlier, this time without passing under the finish line, as the route deviates about 250 metres beforehand. The climb is very steep, with pitches up to 20% at the beginning and end. With 350 metres to go, riders enter a paved stone section that continues to the finish, where the gradients ease slightly. Final straight on stone paving.
