The remainder of the road returns to being flat and runs through the Po Valley with broad, essentially straight roads until it reaches the final circuit. After San Mauro Torinese, you go along the Po River at Corso Casal to ascend the Basilica Superga for the first time (deflect 600m before arrival) to descend into Revodora with a demanding descent that takes you back to San Mauro and climb to the end with slopes of over 10%.
The last 5 kilometers (which are repeated twice except for the last 600 metres) that begins in Turin at Corso Casal is where the climb begins that leads to the Superga Church. The average gradient is 9.1% with a peak around the mid-climb of 14% and long extensions at 10%.
