Foiano di Val Forte is situated in the provence of Benevento and lies approximately 80 kilometres to the northeast of Naples. It’s surrounded by hills, which is reflected in a downhill start followed by a 7 kilometres climb at moderate gradients to San Bartolomeo in Galdo.
The second climb is somewhat harder, but that’s just relatively speaking. The 8 kilometres climb goes up at 5%. The summit is reached after 50 kilometres and following a rolling section and a prolonged descent the riders reach the coast in Termoli. Still 85 kilometres to go at this point and it’s all going in northerly directon along the coast.
A sprint finish in Francavilla al Mare is next to certain. The elevation gain is 1,450 metres and, as said, it’s virtualy all concentrated in the first part of the race.
The second and third intermediate sprint come with 3, 2 and 1 seconds, while the first three riders on the line gain 10, 6 and 4 seconds.
