Although the route features three KOMs, the hills are nothing special. Neither in length, nor in gradients. The riders cross the Po Valley from east to west.
The 2021 Giro d’Italia also included Piacenza as a starting venue. The race went to Sestola and Joe Dombrowski took the win from the breakaway. In 2022 Turin was the end station of one of the most exciting stages of that edition. The race concluded with several laps on a hilly finishing circuit east of Turin. Simon Yates took the win, 15 seconds ahead of the first chasers, Jai Hindley, Richard Carapaz and Vincenzo Nibali.
The climbers can keep their heads down this time. The route is tailor-made for the sprinters.
The first three riders across the line gain time bonuses of 10, 6, and 4 seconds.
