Trofeo Matteotti
195 Kilometers
The week of Italian races prior to the World Championships in Innsbruck will end for the Movistar Team at the 71st edition of the Trofeo Matteotti, a lumpy race next to the Abbruzzo coastline, in Pescara, where both the fast men and the climbers will have their opportunities to shine.
At each of the 13 laps (195km) in the race, the riders will face the climbs to Colle Scorrano (1.2km at 5.5%) and Montesilvano (700m at 5%). The latter, completed with just six-and-a-half kilometers from the finish, will be followed by a fast downhill towards the coast and only two final kilometers of flat roads.
