The fourth stage of the Giro d'Italia Women 2025 from Castello Tesino to Pianezze promises to be a real challenge for the riders. On the way through the Belluno region, the athletes can expect constant ups and downs with numerous climbs. After the start in Castello Tesino, the route first leads past Feltre and then circles Belluno. The peloton then passes Lago di Santa Croce and Vittorio Veneto before tackling the steep climb to Muro di Ca' del Poggio. The finale leads through the Prosecco hills, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, before the decisive final climb to Pianezze begins.
The steep climb to the Muro di Ca' del Poggio in particular is likely to be the first selection in the peloton. Strong climbers could try to break away from the peloton here. However, there are still 40 kilometres to the finish and one last hurdle awaits the riders. The long final climb to Pianezze is likely to be decisive for the stage win.
This one has it all: over a distance of 11.2 kilometres, the riders have to tackle an average ascent of 7 percent. It gets particularly steep in the final kilometres. Shortly before the Flamme Rouge, ramps with gradients of up to 11 per cent await the athletes. This is where the overall classification riders are likely to play to their strengths and try to gain crucial seconds. The wide mountain road has numerous hairpin bends, which could favour attacks.
