Giro d'Italia

From a big mountain day, the Giro jumps to a tappa dei muri, a route more typical of Tirreno-Adriatico and very attractive for breakaways, where the favourites will need to keep their wits about them.

Four climbs — plus the Red Bull Kilometre — in the final 60 kilometres: Montefiore dell'Aso (category 3), Monterubbiano (category 4), the notorious 'Muro' of Capodarco (2.5 km with a stretch at 18%) and the finish in Fermo, with the Muro di Via Reputolo before an urban and somewhat more manageable but still uphill finish.
