Tirreno-Adriatico 2023 Route stage 7: San Benedetto del Tronto - San Benedetto del Tronto

Sunday 12 March - San Benedetto del Tronto is the start and finish venue on the Tirreno's last day of action. The coastal town is likely to see a sprint finish after a 154 kilometres long race - hilly in the first part, pan flat in the second.

The route is almost a carbon copy of last year's final stage. Just a few hills in the first part extra, that's it. Phil Bauhaus won last year's sprint in San Benedetto del Tronto ahead of Giacomo Nizzolo and Kaden Groves.

Another sprint finish is next to certain. The riders clip into their pedals in San Benedetto del Tronto to enter the hilly interior. The passage in Ripatransone, after a 3.6 kilometres climb at 4.9%, marks the end of the first part of the race.

A 13 kilometres descent takes the riders down to Grottammare and they enter a pan-flat circuit of almost 15 kilometres. The lap is to be repeated five times.

The first three riders on the line gain time bonuses of 10, 6 and 4 seconds, while the intermediate sprint comes with 3, 2 and 1 seconds.
