Route
A largely flat stage with a short climb early on before entering the Fucino Plain. The route passes through Magliano de’ Marsi, Celano and Gioia dei Marsi before reaching San Benedetto dei Marsi, where riders complete a 27.7-kilometre circuit featuring gentle undulations. Roads are generally wide, although urban sections include the usual traffic-calming features.
Final kilometres
The closing kilometres are flat, with long, wide straights leading into San Benedetto dei Marsi, where the riders negotiate town streets interrupted by several right-angle turns before a slightly uphill finish.

ORICOLA-PIANO DEL CAVALIERE
Overview
Oricola – Piano del Cavaliere is the western gateway to Abruzzo, on the border with Lazio, where history, nature, and tradition come together in a striking landscape. Overlooked by the imposing Castle of Oricola, the village preserves the charm of a medieval settlement surrounded by mountains, woodlands, and wide valleys.
SAN BENEDETTO DEI MARSI
Overview
San Benedetto dei Marsi, located in the heart of the Marsica area, is a town rich in history and traditions, set in the fertile Fucino Plain, one of Abruzzo’s most important agricultural regions. The town stands on land that has been inhabited since ancient times and preserves significant traces of its past, including the remains of the Roman city of Marruvium, the ancient capital of the Marsi people, with archaeological sites and artefacts that tell the story of a millenary civilisation.
