After three punishing days in a row on the gravel stage, an individual time trial and the Prati di Tivo summit finish, the peloton finally gets some relief with a mainly flat stage from Avezzano to Naples on stage 9 before the first rest day.

The gentle run-out in the Abruzzo region is interrupted by a couple of small unclassified climbs which could allow for a breakaway to form before it settles into a flat midsection with two sprints – the intermediate in Mondragone and Intergiro in Lago Patria.
