Tirreno-Adriatico 2026 Route stage 1: Lido di Camaiore ITT

Monday 9 March – The Tirreno–Adriatico opens with an 11.5-kilometre individual time trial. On a perfectly flat road, the riders head back and forth along the Tyrrhenian Sea. The course is exactly the same as last year, when Filippo Ganna was the fastest.

Last year, Filippo Ganna was comfortably faster than Juan Ayuso and Johan Price-Pejtersen. His winning time was 12 minutes 17 seconds, with Ayuso 23 seconds slower.
