Termoli – Teramo

After the first rest day, the Giro returns to the mainland and turns north up Italy's Adriatic coast. It finishes in the little-known Molise region, one of 17 areas to feature this year, which is due to the unification celebrations. This is probably the most straightforward stage of the race and is one that the sprinters will be determined to stitch up between them. Expect a successful swift pursuit of the day's breakaway, followed by a high-octane finish in Teramo. The breakaways might have some success if the wind gets up off the sea and disrupts the chase behind them, though.
