Stage 1

Completely flat individual time trial consisting of two virtually straight sectors running outwards and backwards along the Camaiore and Viareggio seafront with only a few junction bends and the halfway point, a U-turn at km 5.4 in Viareggio, where the intermediate time is taken. Then straight back to Lido di Camaiore where an S-turn will lead into the last kilometre.
 

The last 3 kilometres, flat and heading north, consist of a long straight which, at 1600 m to go, features a pair of left-right bends leading onto the promenade where, approximately 300 m from the finish line, another pair of right-left bends leads into the final straight. Arrival on asphalt road 7 m wide.
