Tour of the Alps 2023 Route stage 2: Reith im Alpbachtal - Renon
Tuesday 18 April - The 2nd stage of the Tour of the Alps is 165.2 kilometres long and takes in an elevation gain of 2,860 metres. The finale is a tricky one with a lot of climbing in the last 18 kilometres.
Shortly after the start the riders tackle a small ramp in the centre of Reith, but then the route flattens out. In fact, straight and flat roads lead to kilometre 35 before a 6 kilometres climb to Tulfes ushers in the mountainous middle section. The route continues to Lans and Matri am Brenner to enter Italy via the Brenner Pass, which is a long climb at shallow gradients. Not hard enough for any KOM points.
A descent of 45 kilometres long takes the riders to Brixen and they tackle the 5.9 kilometres climb at 5% to Feldthurns. Still 30 kilometres to go when the Tour of the Alps moves through the village.
Following the downhill and 8 kilometres in the valley the finale kicks in hard with the ascent to Barbiano: 4.5 kilometres at 8%. A short descent and then it goes back up again on the wildly irregular Monte di Mezzo. It’s 3.9 kilometres long and averaging 8.5%, while several double digit ramps pep up the climb.
The last 3 kilometres go up and down until the finish inside the local hockey, short track and speed skating arena of Renon, the so called Ritten Arena.
The first three riders on the line gain time bonuses of 10, 6 and 4 seconds, while the intermediate sprints come with 3, 2 and 1 seconds.
