A false flat shortly after the start leads to a section of almost 40 kilometres where they can go full gas before hitting the first and only uphill. The road climbs for 4.6 kilometres at 5.7% to the village of Axams. The steepest ramp is 13% and the climb flattens out before the top.
In Axams the teams still have more than 17 kilometres ahead of them. Following an undulating stretch of 2.5 kilometres the route drops back down to the valley of the Inn River. The descent is 4.8 kilometres before the last 9.8 kilometres are on the flat. The finish is on the Rennweg in Innsbruck.
