The 184.5km stage from Roverto to  Madonna di Campiglio, is followed by a 206.5km stage from Marilleva Val di Sole to Passo Pordoi Val di Fassa before a rest day which sees the riders that includes the likes of Fabian Cancellera transfering to the Polish soil of Krakow in preparation for stage three which is 226kms long and from Kraków to Rzeszów.

That is followed by the longest stage of the race - the 231.5km Tarnów to Katowice stage, a 160.5km stage from Nowy Targ to Zakopane and a 192km stage from Bukovina Terma Hotel Spa to Bukowina Tatrzanska before the final stage which is a 37km Individual Time Trial from Wieliczka to Kraków on Sunday.
