technical info
The final stage is divided into two parts: the first is the peloton’s outing to Lido di Castel Fusano on the Tyrrhenian Sea. It’s 16 kilometres one way and another 16 kilometres back before the stage enters its second and final part, the finishing circuit (8 laps) of 9.5 kilometres, which very much resembles last year’s lap through the eternal city. The circuit runs entirely along city streets (wide and sometimes with some traffic dividers) and alternates between short undulations and long straights linked by sometimes challenging bends. The road surface is mainly asphalt with a few short, cobbled sections (so-called sanpietrini).
Last kilometres
The last kilometres feature some bends and a short climb. The final 350m straight is made of cobblestones and is 9m wide.
