The riders will tackle the climbs of Forca Caruso (14 km), Gioia Vecchio via Passo del Diavolo (14 km), and the final ascent to Aremogna, which stretches for over 18 km. The roads are often narrow, with some demanding descents. Urban areas include standard traffic obstacles like roundabouts and road humps.
