Giro d’Italia Stage 8 preview: Hilly day in Apennines offers chance for breakaway

Giro d'Italia – stage eight map - (giroditalia.it)

The 2025 Giro d’Italia’s jaunt through the Apeninnes continues today with a second hilly stage, running from the coast at Giulianova to Castelraimondo.

Stage eight sets the tone for the majority of this Giro’s mountain stages, with its toughest climb slap bang in the middle of the day. There’s 3,800m of vertical gain in total - more than stage seven, but more spread out, with several uncategorised rises as well as four categorised climbs.
