Stage 2 links Roncade H-Farm to Caorle over 146 km and stays almost entirely flat apart from one mid-stage climb.
Route and profile
The Muro di Ca’ del Poggio adds some shape, but not enough to push the stage away from the sprinters on paper.
How the stage could race
If the bunch wants another sprint, it should get one. The main question is whether any team wants to make the one climb hard enough to isolate the heavier sprinters before the run to Caorle.
Who it suits
A durable sprint leader who can absorb one climbing stress point is best placed.
Prospective winners
The current preliminary startlist is still incomplete, but the riders already listed who best fit this stage are Lorena Wiebes, Elisa Balsamo, Rachele Barbieri.
This Local startlist is an initial partial import from the current ProCyclingStats startlist page on March 10, 2026, not a complete official roster.
