Largely flat stage until the final 35 km. The route begins on the Murge plateau, descends to Taranto, then follows the fast Metaponto coast road (SS106). The course leaves the SS106 toward the inland Bernalda climb, then continues on fairly wide roads toward Montescaglioso, a short, steep, and mostly straight ascent. A short descent and uphill false flat lead to the finish in Matera.
Final kilometres
The final 3 km feature a 10% ramp leading into urban avenues, first downhill, then uphill to the finish. Around the flamme rouge, two left-hand curves (a tight one at 1,200 m) bring riders to a 300 m final straight, slightly uphill on 8-metre-wide asphalt.
