Venaria Reale -
Torino

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.

San Francesco al Campo -
Santuario di Oropa

Challenging stage featuring the first summit finish. After a flat run-up across Canavese and Vercellese areas the pink caravan will reach Valdengo, where a succession of minor climbs begins. A fast descent to Biella leads to the final ascent of Oropa on the "classic" route already tackled on several occasions by the Giro d'Italia. This is where things will kick-off.

Novara -
Fossano

Predominantly flat stage with some minor ups and downs in the central part. Mostly flat, straight, normal-width roads dotted with standard city obstacles in urban areas. The short climb of Lu is perhaps the only asperity of the day. The finale is characterised by the short climb of Cherasco.

Acqui Terme -
Andora

A fairly flat stage, the only obstacles are the Col di Melogno climb (8 km at around 5%) midway through the stage and the final Capo Mele, which is tackled from the same side as during the Milano-Sanremo. The finishing venue lies at the foot of Capo Mele and is approached along the well-known route of La Classicissima.

Genova -
Lucca

The riders leave the city of Genova and travel along the coast on the Aurelia state road in the first 50 km. The stage has just two climbs on the menu. The first is the third category Passo del Bracco which comes after 62km of racing and the second is the fourth category Montemagno climb which the peloton summits just under 20km from the finish line of Lucca.

Torre del Lago Puccini -
Rapolano Terme

A demanding stage characterised by a hilly second part and three gravel sectors totalling almost 12 km. The first two are shared with the Strade Bianche, the third is a new one.

Foligno -
Perugia TUDOR ITT

Individual time trial clearly divided into two parts. The first 32 km, flat and largely non-technical, lead to the foot of Umbria’s capital city of Perugia. The riders then tackle the ascent of Casaglia, with gradients up to 16%. The road climbs in fits and starts all the way to the finish line.

Spoleto -
Prati di Tivo

Short stage with no flat ground to play with and plenty of elevation gain. Just after the start, the pink caravan climbs Forca di Cerro, followed by Forca Capistrello, which is over 16 km long. The peloton will then skim over the Terminillo massif to reach Capitignano, with continuous ups and downs leading to the western slope of the Capannelle Pass. The climb ends a short distance from the pass at Croce Abbio, where the 30 km descent begins, leading to the foot of the final climb. The descent is characterised by numerous bends and two long, well-lit tunnels. The finish asperity to Prati di Tivo adds 14 kilometres at 7% to the mix.

Avezzano -
Napoli

Stage clearly divided into two parts. The first 180 km are the run-up to a demanding finale with short and punchy climbs. The first part is predominantly flat and takes place mainly on mostly straight roads interspersed with numerous tunnels. The riders then race parallel to the Tyrrhenian coast before heading to the Monte di Procida area and tackling the last kilometres.

Pompei -
Cusano Mutri

The stage begins calmly with the first part of the race as good as flat. After reaching the Via Appia, the road begins to climb gently to Montesarchio. We then tackle some uncategorised climbs followed by the Camposasuro ascent, which leads to the towns of Solopaca and Guardia Sanframondi. The road is of medium width with a sometimes worn-out surface and numerous bends. After Cerreto Sannita and the illuminated tunnel that leads into the Titerno valley, the long final climb to Cusano Mutri will be tackled, spanning 18km at 6% average gradient with pitches at 10%. The climb winds its way up the treeless slope to the last part of the stage, with wide bends and short straights.
