GIRO D’ITALIA STAGE 7 COURSE PREVIEW

A hilly stage with a flat finale. After a short stretch in the hinterland, the route follows the Adriatic coast up to Chieti.  A brace of bends and undulations leads back onto the coast, all the way to Termoli.

Finale

The last 2 miles are raced on urban roads. After leaving the coastal road, the route takes in a 200 m kick with 10-12% gradients, and then continues on a slight incline all the way to the finish. The route takes in a few sharp bends, and narrows briefly at the ‑800 m mark, eventually merging onto the home straight on tarmac road.
