A relentless stage with a series of short climbs and descents as the race crosses from one valley to another. Eight notable climbs are tackled, varying in length and difficulty, with almost no flat terrain. The riders will pass the finish line once before heading into a 58-km hilly circuit. The finale features a gradual uphill drag. 
Final kilometers 
The final 3 km are a steady climb through the outskirts of the historic center. A slight descent leads into the final 1200 m. Then the road kicks up sharply (9%) for a few hundred meters before easing to around 3% all the way to the line. The finish is on a 250 m stretch of porphyry pavement, 7 meters wide.
