The last clamber up San Fermo della Battaglia, 2.7 km at 7.2 percent, crested with 5 km to race.
Civiglio, 4.2 km of 9.7 percent, arrived with 17 km remaining. The first climb of San Fermo della Battaglia came before Civiglio. There were nine climbs, but the action probably wouldn’t start until the clamber to Madonna del Ghisallo, home of the patron saint of cyclists and a small cycling museum, an 8.6-km ascent of 6.2 percent peaking with 63 km to go.
