Tirreno-Adriatico 2018 Route stage 7: ITT San Benedetto del Tronto

Tuesday, 13 March 2018 - Traditonally, the last stage of the Tirreno-Adriatico is an individual time trial in San Benedetto del Tronto up and down the flat Adriatic seafront. The route amounts to 10.05 kilometres.

For years now the route of the Tirreno-Adriatico's last stage has been more or less the same. The distance may vary a little, but the flat route on straight roads runs along the Adriatic Sea. The riders roll down the ramp and race 5 kilometres one way and following two 90-degree turns in short succession another 5 kilometres back. The intermediate time check is at the halfway turning point.

Last year, Rohan Dennis powered to victory in San Benedetto del Tronto. Nairo Quintana limited his losses to best the Australian by 25 seconds on GC. It was the second time that the Colombian lifted the winner's Trident trophy.
