technical info
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.
Last kilometres
The last 3 km are mostly downhill. Once past Capo Mele, the road descends in a series of semi-curves to the town of Andora. The last 800 m are straight and perfectly flat on an 8 m wide asphalt road.
