This is the toughest stage of the Tirreno-Adriatico, featuring a summit finish. It runs through the valleys of the Marchigian hinterland, with continuous ups and downs in the first part interspersed with some important climbs such as the Forchetta di Valle Avellana and the ascent of Pian di Trebbio. On the slopes of Monte Petrano, the riders will tackle the short and steep climb of Moria (about 2.5 km at 9%) to reach Cagli, where the final climb will begin.
Last km
The last kilometres involve the ascent to Monte Petrano. A 10.1 km climb at an average gradient of 8.1%, steep in the first kilometres (up to 12%), more constant in the second part, and characterised by numerous hairpin bends. When approaching the summit plateau, the gradient decreases before reaching the almost flat final straight.
