technical info

Choppy and nervous stage in the first part but entirely flat in the last 80 km. Uphill start with passage through Monteprandone followed by a tough climb to Montedinove. Next are a few ups and downs through Montalto delle Marche which will lead to the village of Ripatransone. The long descent to Grottammare is followed by a circuit of about 15 km to be repeated five times on mostly straight, wide, paved roads.
Last km
Last 3 km on wide, mostly straight roads with a few semi-curves on medium-wide roads in the first part. The last double bend is located at about 1 km from the finish.
