By David Hunter Praia A Mare – Montevergine Di Mercogliano 209km This is a stage which will interest a number of riders.

By David Hunter Pizzo – Praia a Mare 159km As the race hits mainland Italy, we get a rather boring sprint stage.

By David Hunter Caltanissetta – Etna 164km Time for the first mountaintop finish.

By David Hunter Agrigento – Santa Ninfa 153km Another tough stage in Sicily.

By David Hunter Catania – Caltagirone 202km We are back in Italy, but not on the mainland. The peloton will now have to deal with the roads of Sicily. These stretches of tarmac are not always in the best condition, meaning riders have to be switched on for the entire stage.

By David Hunter Be’er Sheva – Eilat 229km The last day in Israel.

By David Hunter Haifa – Tel Aviv 167km Time for the sprinters to shine.
