Tirreno-Adriatico 2019 Route stage 1: TTT in Lido di Camaiore

The last three Lido di Camaiore TTT’s were all won by BMC, so the race will definitely see a new winner on the first day of action. Teams will storm on long straight roads along the Tyrrhenian Sea to the intermediate checkpoint at kilometre 10.7. This also serves as a turning point before the teams return to Lido di Camaiore as they came: on flat and straight roads.

In 2017, BMC recorded the fastest average time in the history of the race: 58.329km/h. Last year, they won the race 4 seconds ahead of Mitchelton-Scott with Sky another 5 seconds further behind.

The Lido di Camaiore route is flat and similar to the TTT in the UAE Tour, which was won by Lotto-Visma (Primoz Roglic) ahead of Team Sunweb (Tom Dumoulin) Bahrain-Merida (Vincenzo Nibali, Rohan Dennis).

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.
