technical info
A slightly undulating stage almost certainly destined for a bunch sprint, unless the uphill stretch in the last 2 km favors a finisseur. The riders will navigate the rolling terrain of Brianza and Varese, skimming the Swiss border before reaching Cantù, where they will complete two laps of a nearly 30 km circuit. The circuit is quite punchy, with several short climbs and frequent direction changes requiring constant acceleration.
Last Km
The final kilometers feature a hairpin turn that leads onto a slightly uphill final straight of over 500 meters, with gradients exceeding 7% in the final stretch.
