The highlight for me was having been to Notaresco & Abruzzo a few years ago. One of my good buddies was born there and I stayed on the coast with my wife in his apartment for a couple of weeks cycling holiday riding along the coast and up into the hills including Chieti where they visited today.
Can confirm it is as fun as it looks starting on the coast, riding an hour into 3,000 metre mountains and then finishing at sea level again dipping your toes into the Adriatic while having a late lunch on the beach.
Good finish, fairly uneventful stage.
