Even there are some shared areas with the famous classic – this year in the major fashion by Tedes Pogkar – in Montpement and Pinzuto, and a total of five gravel sectors, with the longest two 9.3 km.
Starting in Ballo and through Tuscan rural areas through Sienna, it should be an attractive phase to see and also be an incredibly busy as all riders – especially GC claimants – look to stay safe on five dirt road Section.
There is no respect for pink jersey and puncture, crash, and mechanical risks in gravel, which are all growing on uneven ground, while the dangers of being caught out of the situation will mean an all -altogue battle will be revealed.
Like Strad Bianche it is very up and down, but the largest climb is quick in the lasfire, a category three 52 km, one with another at Grania in San Martino dirt road To go to the section with 35 km or to the finish line in Sienna.

Start time
Stage nine is scheduled to start from local time (12pm BST) at 1 pm and should finish local time (4.30pm BST) up to 5.30pm.
Prediction
Mathius Wesak has been spectacular in all areas in this race so far and the stage was a more comfortable day on eight, so there should be fresher legs, while the dialon van is a good classics in the bar and looks alive in the breakway on Saturday.
Essentially a lot of riders will imagine this one, but we are going to throw our weight back Tom Pidcock: A pre -winner of Strad Biache, he is well clearly after a strong spring classics campaign and is the third place on a hard hard sprint finish on step five for maternal, and has clarified that he is targeting this one. The 25 -year -old has never won a senior Giro Manch and is only a grand tour stage for his name, the famous short -d’hj scalp in 2022, and there is no doubt that he would not like to add to it.
