A very undulating stage after an initial flat stretch. The route enters the Romagna Apennines, ascends San Marino, then traverses the Pesaro area via multiple climbs including Mondaino, Monteciccardo, and Beato Sante. Punchy climbs continue through Cartoceto and Saltara before the final uphill drag to the finish.
