Questions about this graphic:

1. Down at the bottom I see PS, AR, and PI. What are those?


2. What do the two red circles with R's mean?


3. What is the symbol above Arezzo?


4. Valico Croce A Mori is the highest point in the stage. What is that
symbol above that point. (I know it's a triangle, but what does it say
inside it...)




Thanks,


-Bob

Those are political boundaries indicating the Italian province.
I think those are PG (Perugia),AR (Arezzo), and FI (Firenze).

Feed zone.

That's the TV Garibaldi sprint, formerly known as the InterGiro.

GPM, for the mountains classification. The color indicates the category
of the climb.
