Discover the Departure Cassino Cassino is a town in the province of Frosinone, central Italy, at the southern end of the region of Lazio, the last City of the Latin Valley. Cassino is located at the foot of Monte Cairo near the confluence of the Gari and Liri rivers. The city is best known as the site of the Abbey of Montecassino and the Battle of Monte Cassino during World War II, which resulted in huge Allied and German casualties as well as the near total destruction of the town itself. It is also home to the University of Cassino. 

Stage 6 Cassino > San Giovanni Rotondo   The stage is very long. The first 190 km take place on straight and broad fast roads, with a few tunnels along the way, but with no major climbs. The route then changes dramatically: the roads are narrower, and worn out at points. The Coppa Casarinelle climb (30 km before the finish) ascends in hairpins with 5-6% gradients to the Gargano, until 15 km from the finish. Final kilometres The roads are undulating and twisting. The route runs uphill until 6 km from the finish, then downhill until -3 km, then further uphill to cross the town and head into the last short descent, from -2 km to the red flag. The home straight (1,200 m) is on 7.5 m wide tarmac, with a 2-3% incline.
