technical info

A stage divided into two parts: the run-up to the final circuit and the circuit itself. The first part unfolds within the Sibillini Mountains. After Norcia, the route climbs the Valico di Castelluccio to then cross the plain of the same name and, through the Forca di Presta, the riders will reach Arquata del Tronto and the Salaria, where several tunnels and some bottlenecks are signalled. The road is mostly wide and well-paved. Some city crossings will feature the usual urban obstacles and, at km 178, the final circuit will begin.
Last km
Last kilometres within a 22.7 km circuit to be repeated once. The circuit consists of an undulating first part through Mosciano Sant’Angelo followed by a slightly downhill sector until reaching the sea. Last 3 km slightly uphill at about 4.5%. The final stretch is at 2% for the last 400 m.
