Another stage divided into two parts: mostly flat start and very rough finale with another uphill finish. From Imola to Savignano sul Rubicone, the route follows the practically straight and flat Via Emilia, punctuated only by villages and related traffic obstacles. After Savignano, the riders will gradually enter the Romagna Apennines, cross the Republic of San Marino where a cat. 2 KOM is located and then reach Urbino via Mercatino Conca with a few more climbs in addition to the final wall.
Last kilometres
Slight counter slope until the last kilometre, after which the riders will enter a medieval area on porphyry paving with average gradients of 12-14%. The final 100m straight is on cobblestones.
