    1st stage on mainland Italy of this years race, a short stage with a sprint finish, Viviani been tipped for the win but Sam Bennetts been tipped as the main rider to challenge him at the finish. Weather looks like a crosswind at 15km with a mix of sun & cloud

    Technical Overview:
    After 3 demanding stages in Sicily, the peloton reaches the mainland for a much easier stage. The short length and the absence of meaningful climbs (the uphill section at 15 km to go only measures 4 km at 3.5%...) make wind the only possible threat for the riders. The stage runs entirely along the coast, so it is a concrete chance. Considering how the last stage to Praia a Mare looked like (see 2016), this route is very underwhelming, but considering the rest of the stages of this week, it's understandable...
