Giro 2022 Route stage 14: Santena - Turin

Saturday 21 May - At 147 kilometres, the 14th stage on the Giro is a circuit race through the hills east of Turin. The amount of climbing adds up to 3,000 metres and the finale is on descent.

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.
