The queen stage crosses the Karabakh territories recovered by Azerbaijan in 2023, a route with as much political weight as sporting significance.
From Tartar the road advances for a hundred kilometres across the plain before turning west and beginning a relentless climb towards Khankendi: from sea level to nearly 1,500 metres at Zəfər (cat. 2) and Şuşa (cat. 1). The finish itself is 2 km at 4%. It will be completely decisive.
