After the Blockhaus, the riders will face the Muri Fermani. It will be a very demanding day before another summit finish, with the Capodarco wall offering a launchpad for a major move.

The route 

Mixed stage: first part along the Adriatic, flat and on wide, mostly straight roads, followed by a second part in the Fermo hinterland with a succession of ups and downs and several “walls,” especially towards the finish. After Cupra Marittima, the route heads inland and climbs the first KOM at Montefiore dell’Aso, followed by the one at Monterubbiano. The race then reaches Fermo for the first time, tackling the “wall” of Via Cardarelli, before returning to the SS16 Adriatica to face the Capodarco climb (KOM) and, in quick succession, the Fermo-Reputolo climb leading to the finish.

Timetable

Start time: 01:15 a.m.
