The Italy's turn returns to action this Saturday with a stage 14 that, without being decisive in the mountain, can define important things. After thirteen days of high intensity and surprises, the race moves from Treviso to Nova Gorica / Gorizia on a 195 km layout with a mostly flat profile, although with a closure that requires attention.
The stage starts in Treviso and travels the low plain of the veneto before entering Friuli, passing through cord and crossing the Tagliamento river. From kilometer 140, the runners step on Slovenian floor to face the most technical part of the day: the final circuit in Gorizia, with 14 km that will be traveled once after passing the goal in Nova Gorica.
The land, in general, is flat. However, the end includes three promotions of the fourth category (Saver, Km 157, 173 and 187), which could slightly move the rhythm, but not break the group. These repes, although brief, are strategically placed close to the outcome, which forces the teams to stay alert.
Altimetry of stage 14 of the Italian Giro 2025
With few real mountain difficulties and without demanding ports, this stage is designed for sprinters. The favorites to the title, including the leader Isaac del Toro, should arrive without setbacks, taking care of the high mountain day on Sunday. The expectation is that teams with good auctioneers take control of the platoon and cancel any attempt to escape.
The opportunities for adventurers are scarce. Sprin trees will want to keep everything under control and get compact to the final sprint. In that context, the struggle for victory will be decided in the last meters among packaging specialists.
Although the stage does not present great climbs, it is not exempt from danger. The long straight and the exposed terrain increase the risk of falls and cuts in the platoon, especially if the wind appears on the side. The fans could play a bad pass to those who neglect.
Runners such as Egan Bernal (9) and Einer Rubio (18) must remain well located and surrounded, avoiding problems that can cost second valuable seconds in the general.
