Route
A mountain stage featuring several climbs, the toughest of which, Forcella di Acciano, comes shortly after the start. A long descent brings the riders back near Popoli Terme before climbing through Castiglione a Casauria, Pescosansonesco and Nocciano on constantly undulating roads. The final 20 kilometres are predominantly uphill, culminating at the summit of Scagnano (KOM) before a series of gentle rises and descents to the finish.
Final kilometres
The final kilometres are uphill. With 500 metres to go, riders negotiate a U-turn around a roundabout before the final ascent to the finish line.
