Arguably, the Tour of the Alps serves its toughest race on the second day of action. Following a local loop of 28 kilometres the riders leave Reith Im Alpbachtal for good to travel to ski resort Tulfes, which lies on a plateau overlooking the Inn valley. The climb is 5.1 kilometres at 7.1%.
The route continues further south and enters Italy via the Brenner Pass. The Tour of the Alps then descends to Sterzing (or Vipiteno in Italian) before the long haul up the Jaufen Pass begins. The climb is 15 kilometres at 7.5%, while a sheer endless downhill leads to Meran. This spa-town lies at the foot of the 4.5 kilometres closing climb to Schenna. The average gradient of the last ascent is 5.7%, but the last 400 metres go up at almost 10%.
The first three riders on the line win time bonuses of 10, 6 and 4 seconds.
