Om etappen

This is a lengthy and rolling stage, with a long closing climb. Without taking into account the ITT in Ortona, this will be the second summit finish of the Giro.

After a long approach, the route takes in climbs to Roccaraso and the Piano delle Cinque Miglia (where Girardengo had to give in, at a very different time and under very different circumstances), followed by a lengthy descent to the base of the Gran Sasso.

The road to Campo Imperatore ascends endlessly for nearly 45 km, with a false-flat drag halfway through the climb. KOM points will be up for grabs in Calascio and at the finish.

The Gran Sasso hosted four Giro stage finishes, but in 1985, the line was set in Fonte Cerreto, nearly 1,000 metres below. The most recent stage finish was in 2018, when victory went to Simon Yates.

The stage is very long (218 km). The first 90 km run on fast‑flow roads through Isernia and Rionero Sannitico; the roadway is wide and well surfaced, with some well‑lit tunnels along the route. The stage course then tackles the Roccaraso categorised climb, followed by a long descent leading to Sulmona and Popoli. Past Bussi sul Tirino, the route takes in the final climb (approx. 45 km), with a few short counter‑sloping stretches. The ascent is divided into two parts (relevant to the Mountains Classification): the first one until Calascio, and the second one (shorter and steeper) up to the finish.

Final kilometres
The ramps are steep over the last 7 km. The route reaches over 2,000 m in altitude on a moderately wide road, with gradients around 9% and topping out at 13%. The finish line (7 m in width) sits on a 120 m long tarmac home straight.
