The route is fast in its first part but then the presence of a couple of climbs, even if not long and not demanding, will certainly break up the large groups: it is a stage suitable for long distance riders who want to attempt escapes, but the undertaking will be difficult given that there are no great altimetric difficulties.
THE ROUTE: We will certainly start at full speed and as soon as we reach the SS125 already at the first up and down some will probably try to escape but then there is the long stretch that leads to Murta Maria where the group will be able to rejoin.
The first real opportunity to try to gain an advantage is the short climb that leads to the refreshment point (km 40) after which there is a second longer one before entering the town of Padru where the route division is located (km 48). The MedioGiro turns left and heads back towards the sea with a very fast descent that takes you back to the SS125 where you retrace the San Teodoro roundabouts in reverse and then go to the finish line in front of the main hotel.
