Giro 2026 Route stage 15: Voghera - Milan

Sunday, 24 May – It doesn’t get much flatter than stage 15 of the Giro d'Italia. The elevation gain between Voghera and Milan doesn't exceed 500 metres, while the race is 136 kilometres long.

For: sprinters
Key feature: final 500 metres

The most remarkable thing about stage 15 is that the Giro finally returns to Milan without it being a final-day time trial.

We have to go back to 2015 for the last time a road stage finished in the Milan. The peloton came from Turin that day, and while everyone was expecting a bunch sprint, Iljo Keisse and Luke Durbridge pulled off a stunning surprise by staying clear of the chasing peloton. The Belgian outsmarted the Australian in the ensuing two-up sprint.

The route is just as flat as it was back then and also ends with several laps through the city centre, but a similar is highly unlikely.

The Turin-Milan stage of 2015 was the final stage of that edition. While Keisse took the stage honours, Alberto Contador sealed the GC ahead of Fabio Aru and Mikel Landa.
