Riders who like to excel on the flat should give it a go in the first 35 kilometres, as the rest of the route goes either up or down. The action begins with the 4 kilometres ascent at 7% up to Il Pilonetto and after 60 kilometres they enter the circuit via a modest climb.
The riders cross the finish line for the first time after 74.2 kilometres to continue to the base of the Bric del Duca. This ascent is 5 kilometres long and rises at 8.6%. After passing the Basilica of Superga and a rolling descent of 12 kilometres the riders reach the foot of the Colle della Maddalena.
The Colle della Maddalena is a 3.5 kilometres climb at 8.1%, while the first half is particularly brutal. It’s almost 12 kilometres from the summit to the finish line. Most of it is on descent except for a small climb halfway in the suburbs of Turin.
The finish line is located at the place where the opening ITT of last year’s Giro finished – in the shadow of the church of Gran Madre di Dio.
