Course Preview
On the penultimate day of Tirreno–Adriatico, the riders effectively face two races in one. The first half features of one enormous climb, while the second unfolds on a hilly circuit. The stage serves up 3,900 metres of climbing over 189 kilometres., while the finishing climb averages 8.9% over 3.2 kilometres.

By the shortest route, it is only 21 kilometres from San Severino Marche to Camerino, but the riders are not granted such an easy passage. Instead, they tackle a large loop — first heading east, then south — before reaching the foot of the climb to Sassotetto after 53 kilometres. The ascent averages 7.2% over 13.2 kilometres, with a steepest ramp of 14% halfway up.
A long descent then takes the riders to the base of a punchy climb towards the finish town. That one averages 10.9% over 1.4 kilometres. It is not yet the finishing climb, however, as they will approach it later in the day from a different side.
With 103.6 kilometres covered, they enter the finishing circuit, which they complete almost three times in full. Before long, the road rises 1.7 kilometres at 6.4%, followed shortly afterwards by 560 metres at 6.8%. The route then drops towards Castelraimondo, and after 7 kilometres of false flat in the valley, it is time for the second ascent to Camerino. This time it serves as a dress rehearsal for the final climb, although an extra 200 metres will be added later in the finale. The first time around, it is a 3-kilometre ascent at 8.8%, with the first 660 metres averaging a stiff 11.2%.
The circuit measures 29.1 kilometres and, after the second passage through Camerino, it is tackled twice more. Each lap begins with those two uphill stretches — 1.7 kilometres at 6.4% and 560 metres at 6.8% — before descending to Castelraimondo and climbing back up to Camerino after a section of false flat. During the laps, the riders do not pass the actual finish line, which is located in a side street. They turn into it only in the closing stages, adding a further 200 metres to the climb. As a result, the finishing ascent totals 3.2 kilometres at an average gradient of 8.9%.
Giulio Pellizzari hails from the region. The Italian talent was born on 21 November 2003 in the start town of San Severino.
