The individual time trial on the first day is 10 kilometres long and as flat as can be, while the 2nd stage is expected to boil down to a bunch sprint.
The 3rd stage is the longest of the Tirreno-Adriatico. Adding up to 225 kilometres, it’s a lumpy test with a slightly uphill finale.
The 4th stage includes a long drag in the Sibillini Mountains in the first part, while the decisive action takes place on a 22.7 kilometres circuit. The last 3 kilometres climb at 4.5% to the line.
Stage 5 is a hilly race with a promising finale. Following the San Giacomo climb – 12 kilometres at 6.2% – the riders fly downhill to a flat section along a lake before the last kilometre goes up at 7%.
The Queen Stage of the Tirreno-Adriatico amounts to 180 kilometres. The first 150 of which are not very exciting, but the last 30 are. First a wall-like climb to Moria and then the finish climb, which is a 10.1 kilometres long killer with an average gradient of 8.1%.
The last stage has got bunch sprint written all over it. The first part is hilly, the rest as flat as a mirror.
