The route of the 15th stage of the Tour of Italy
At the end of the second week, an early rest day awaits the classification riders before Monday is really free. Only 200 metres of climbing are on the agenda, spread over 157 kilometres between Voghera and Milan.
The route first heads eastwards in a small arc to Pavia before taking the historic Milan-Sanremo route to the fashion metropolis and capital of Lombardy. There, the peloton can expect a 16.3 kilometre circuit that has to be completed four times.
Although it is in the city centre, there are hardly any hazards on the circuit, and there are only a few bends. The last one is two kilometres from the finish line.
Sporting assessment of the 15th stage of the Giro d'Italia 2026
The last six times the Giro has visited Milan, it has always been the end of the entire tour. Five times in the form of a time trial. But in 2015 there should have been a bunch sprint. However, this was prevented by the two breakaway riders Iljo Keisse and Luke Durbridge, who crossed the finish line a few seconds ahead of the peloton and spoilt the sprinters' mood.
That will hardly happen this time. The course is completely flat, short and has hardly any difficulties in the finale, which is also held on a circuit. Something extraordinary would have to happen to prevent a mass finish here. In any case, it won't get any easier for the sprinters until Rome. Especially as they will hardly get any more chances after that.
