Stage one kicks off in the suburbs of Turin and finishes in the centre. After a flat initial phase of around 45 km, the riders will tackle three climbs. The first KOM points are up for grabs on the Berzano di San Pietro, followed about 30 km later by the climb of Superga from the Baldissero Torinese side, which has less arduous gradients than the better known Turin side. The last climb of the day is the Colle della Maddalena, 6 km long and with an average gradient of 7.4%. This summit is located at 30 km from the finish line in Turin, half of which is downhill.  5 kilometres after the sprint for time bonuses in Moncalieri, the San Vito is tackled again. The last challenge is a descent with some tricky twists and turns.
Last kilometres
The last 5 km are characterised by the short, steep climb to San Vito (1.4 km with an average gradient of 9.8% and a maximum of 16%), which ends at 3 km to go. The fast descent leads to about 600 m from the finish. The last 500 m are straight and perfectly flat on an 8mm wide asphalt road.
