The first climb is at the 113 kilometre point. In a little over 12 kilometres riders ascend 200 metres, an average gradient of just 1.6%. It's comparable to the Paso del Turchino in Milan-San Remo, only twice as long.
A second climb lays waiting with 26 kilometres to go. This one is 2.2 kilometres long with an average gradient of 2.2%. Nothing to scare off the sprinters.
