The route is not identical, but it closely resembles last year’s final stage. On that occasion, Jonathan Milan successfully defended his stage win in San Benedetto del Tronto. In 2023, Jasper Philipsen was the fastest on the Adriatic coast, while Phil Bauhaus took victory in 2022. In the years before that, Tirreno–Adriatico concluded in San Benedetto del Tronto with an individual time trial.

After a flat opening phase of 25 kilometres, the riders climb to Montefiore dell’Aso: 10.9 kilometres at an average gradient of 3.4%. Following the descent, the road rises again for 8.5 kilometres at 4.6% towards Ripatransone, after which they descend to San Benedetto del Tronto.

Once on the Adriatic coast, a pancake-flat 14.5-kilometre circuit awaits. The riders tackle the loop five times.
