Following an undulating opening, the riders reach the foot of the Campo Carlo Magno just before the halfway mark. It’s a steady 14.5-kilometre climb with an average gradient of 6.9%, followed by a 35-kilometre downhill leading to the next ascent, the Passo del Durone. This one is 6.3 kilometres long and averaging 8%. At the summit, 19 kilometres remain.
The first half of this stretch is a descent, after which the road rises for 2.9 kilometres at 6.2%. The gradient flattens briefly before the finale presents a 2-kilometre climb at just over 6%, including sections at 8%.
The first three riders on the line gain time bonuses of 10, 6 and 4 seconds, while the intermediate sprints come with 3, 2 and 1 seconds.
The 1st stage of the Tour of the Alps starts at 11:30 and the race is expected to finish around 15:15 – both are local times (CET).
