Route of the 6th stage of the Tour of Italy 2025
The 6th stage of the Giro d'Italia Women 2025 promises to be a demanding challenge for the peloton. From the coastal town of Bellaria-Igea Marina, the route leads inland to Terre Roveresche (Orciano di Pesaro). After a flat start, an undulating profile with several climbs awaits the riders. The course leads through the picturesque landscape of the Romagna Apennines and, with the climb to San Marino and a series of short but steep ramps in the finale, offers numerous opportunities for attacks and changes in the overall classification. The climbs to Mondaino, Monteciccardo and Beato Sante in particular are likely to pull the peloton apart.
Sporting assessment of the 6th stage
The undulating profile and the many short climbs should make for a very dynamic and tactically demanding race. The favourites for overall victory will have numerous opportunities to attack and make up time on the competition. At the same time, the teams will have to organise their strength well, as the constant changes in rhythm will cost them energy. A strong team at the back could be decisive on this stage in order to optimally support and position the captains. However, the big differences in the overall classification are not to be expected.
The last few kilometres promise a thrilling finale. On the undulating roads along the crest of the hill, the riders have to be constantly vigilant. Short ramps with gradients of up to seven per cent offer opportunities for late attacks. The last 350 metres lead slightly uphill to the finish in Orciano di Pesaro. This climb could provide both a successful solo attack and an exciting sprint by a small leading group. There is a realistic chance for a possible group to come through and decide the day's victory among themselves.
