After two days on the “Roller Coaster”, and on the eve of the first Alpine stage, the 2024 Tour de France arrives in Piedmont. The finish line on Corso Galileo Ferraris in Turin winks at the sprinters, put to the test by Florence-Rimini and Cesenatico-Bologna. It will be the longest stage of the 111th edition of the Grande Boucle, 230.8 km between Piacenza and the subalpine capital, which will be reached through the spectacular passage around the Royal Palace of Stupinigi. Ready to show such beauty worldwide and gather on the side of the road between 4.44pm and 5.16pm? The Nickelone event will precede the finish line by 6.4 km. At that point, the teams of fast men working to maintain the leading positions can be predicted, as already in the 33.5 km of territory of the Turin metropolitan city. First, the Piacenza-Turin will pay homage to the legend of the Champion Fausto Coppi, passing through Tortona and tackling one of the three short fourth category climbs (Barbaresco, Sommariva Perno), which will at least liven up the altitude profile a little. Coming from Carignano to Piobesi (Sp 142-Sp 145) the Tour passes between 4.32 pm and 5.03 pm, then, in very rapid succession, here is Vinovo (Sp 145-Sp 143) and Garino (Sp 143 and municipal roads) The prelude to Stupinigi and Corso UnioneSoviet, going up to Corso Lepanto. The final straight will lead to the finish line, located in Corso Galileo Ferraris, near the Inalpi Arena. Caravan expected on the Carmagnola-Turin stretch between 2.38pm and 3.30pm.
