Professional cycling returns to Italy today with the 2025 edition of the Tour of the Alps, a tasty appetizer before the Giro d'Italia. The race will start with a Trentino stage that will both start and finish in San Lorenzo Dorsino, covering a challenging and tricky 148.5 km loop.

After the initial sprint in Andalo, the first climb that the peloton will encounter, though not categorized as a mountain grand prix (GPM), is the climb to Sporminore (4.1 km at 7.7%), followed by another sprint in Cles, and then the now-classic Campo Carlo Magno (1st category, 14.5 km at 6.3%), to be crested 50 km from the finish. However, the Passo del Durone (2nd category, 6.3 km at 8%) could prove decisive, as it will certainly cause significant selection just 20 km from the finish line.

But beware of underestimating the constantly ascending finish to San Lorenzo Dorsino, because in the last 10 km there's first a 3 km section with an average gradient over 6% and then the final kilometer in the town center rises again to 7%.
