technical info
Predominantly flat stage with some minor ups and downs in the central part. Mostly flat, straight, normal-width roads dotted with standard city obstacles in urban areas. The short climb of Lu is perhaps the only asperity of the day. The finale is characterised by the short climb of Cherasco.
Last kilometres
The last 3 km are virtually straight with only one sharp bend at 1300 m to go. Perfectly flat profile except for the false flat section from -4.5 km to -3 km, which climbs steadily at around 5% with wide bends. Final straight of 1300 m on a 9 m wide asphalt road.
