Giro d'Italia Women 2025 Stage 7: Start time and expected finish
Neutralised start: 09.50
Expected finish: 14.30
What we said about Stage 7 on beforehand
Stage 7 is the Queen stage of this year’s Giro, a 157 km mountain test with nearly 3,800 metres of elevation gain and a summit finish atop Monte Nerone. The route starts in Fermignano and builds gradually, featuring three categorised climbs mid-stage before the final showdown. Monte Nerone itself is 14.6 km at 6.6%, but the last 8 km average over 8% and are brutally steep. The early climb to Pian di Trebbio softens the legs, but the real damage will be done on the final ascent. It’s a stage made for the pure climbers - and likely decisive for the overall victory.
