Stage 10 | Tuesday, 16 May | Scandiano - Viareggio | 196 kilometres
From the Tuscan part of the Apennines, the course leads first in a north-westerly direction and later mainly in a southerly direction to the Tyrrhenian Sea. The biggest obstacle here is the Passo delle Radici (2nd category), which takes the riders up to 1527 metres above sea level. Up to the summit at kilometre 87.5, it is almost all uphill - but after that it is almost all downhill.
After a four-point climb after 120 kilometres directly after the descent from the Radici, there is only one slight wave left, which is passed 20 kilometres before the finish. After that, the route leads gently downhill, with hardly any changes of direction. The finishing straight itself is also more than 3000 metres long.
Sporting assessment of the 10th stage
With the undulating first section and the flat finale, the 10th stage is very reminiscent of the to the profile of the 5. That went to the sprinters - and that is also the most likely forecast for this section.
Especially after the rest day, the sprinters and their teams should be in a position to overcome the 2600 metres of altitude relatively easily, but also to bring back the breakaway riders, who will be in a similar situation, in good time.
