Route of the 2nd stage of the Tour of Italy 2025
The second stage of the Giro d'Italia Women 2025 from Clusone to Aprica awaits the riders with a challenging profile. After the start in Clusone, the route initially heads downhill to Lovere on Lake Iseo. From there, the route climbs steadily through the Val Camonica to Edolo. The decisive final climb follows the old road from Corteno Golgi up to Aprica. Although there are no major passes to conquer, the stage with its undulating profile and the steady climb to Aprica is likely to challenge the classification riders.
Sporting assessment of the 2nd stage
A day for the overall class riders has probably not yet arrived. Although the route is slightly uphill almost all the way, the percentages of the climbs are not sufficient to create large gaps. The second stage could well present an opportunity for a group from which the strongest rider breaks away a few kilometres before the finish, or wins by sprinting out of the group. The short ramp at Santicolo shortly before the finish could provide another selection. But there could also be an arrival of the peloton in which an all-rounder prevails in the final sprint. If there is no solo arrival, the strongest sprinter will win, as the last 600 metres are almost flat.
