The day’s first climb takes the riders over 3 kilometres up at 4.3% to Montemagno. After that, the route remains flat for tens of kilometres before the climb to Barga adds 3.1 kilometres at 6.4% to the mix. Both climb are unclassified, with that label reserved for the Alpe San Pellegrino, a brutal ascent of 14.2 kilometres at 8.7%, featuring a 19% ramp near the summit. The riders reach this historic climb’s peak halfway through the stage.
Ascending the Alpe San Pellegrino means stepping directly into Giro history. It’s been 25 years since the maglia rosa and the rest of the pack last tackled this iconic climb. On 22 May 2000, Francesco Casagrande launched a daring attack over the col on his way to victory in Abetone.
The riders fly down a 40 kilometres descent to Cerredolo, where the climbing resumes. This time, it’s a less severe challenge. The ascent to Toano stretches over 11.2 kilometres at an average of 4.9%, altough it does feature ramps up to 10%.
The next 22 kilometres undulate, with more downhill than uphill, before the route rises on a false flat to the base of the Pietra di Bismantova. It’s a 6.5 kilometres ascent at an average gradient of 5.2%, cresting at 5 kilometres before the finish. The final stretch features rolling terrain, with the last kilometre averaging roughly 4%.
