Tirreno-Adriatico 2016 Route stage 1: Lido di Camaiore – Lido di Camaiore

Tirreno-Adriatico stage 1 Wednesday, March 9, 2016 – Tirreno-Adriatico opens with a 22.7 kilometres team time trial in Lido di Camaiore. The flat and fast route is a copy of last year's planned TTT.

As the 2015 Tirreno-Adriatico was plagued by major storms just before the start, and fallen trees were piled on the route of the planned TTT, the organization was forced to switch to a short individual time trial at the eleventh hour. Adriano Malori set of the become the victor.

Long straight roads along the Tyrrhenian coast are sure to entail high speeds. Four 90-degree turns, apart from that it's actually a matter of hammering those pedals like gods of thunder in combination with strong teamwork.

Lido di Camaiore is a borough belonging to Camaiore, where pro-cycling race Gran Premio Città di Camaiore has been held from 1966 to 2014. Diego Ullisi was the last winner before the race was discontinued.
