Stage 3 brings the drama down a notch, hopefully. After two explosive stages the third day has just one climb and a flat finish. A time bonus sprint inside 15km to go might liven things up a touch but the overall contenders should be content to sit this one out.

- Intermediate sprint, km. 78.8
- Intergiro bonus sprint, km. 97.1
- Time bonus sprint, km. 143.9
Stage 3 Mountains
- Lu (cat. 4), km. 58.1
