technical info

Hilly stage with a downhill finish towards the Adriatic coast. The first part features a series of ups and downs in the province of Chieti after a short stretch along the coast. The riders will then tackle the short climbs of Fossacesia, Castel Frentano and Guardiagrele before arriving in Chieti. The second, less demanding part features the climbs of Pianella and Spoltore. The peloton will travel along slip roads, crossing urban areas with the usual traffic obstacles (roundabouts, speed humps and traffic dividers).
Last km
The last kilometres are partly downhill (with a railway subway to be crossed) and then perfectly flat on the final 1700m straight on asphalt (8 m wide).
