Key dates
- Dates: Monday 10 March to Sunday 16 March
- Race start times vary each day
The seven stage of this year’s Tirreno-Adriatico will cover 1,130 km, and climb a whopping 14,610 metres of elevation. Held at the same time as Paris-Nice in France it is one of the most prestigious stage races on the calendar.
The 2025 race will start as is now the norm with an individual time trial in Lido di Camaiore followed by a flat sprint stage in the town of Follonica. Following this stage 3 is a mammoth 239 kilometres heading due east on a lumpy course to the uphill finish in Valico di Colfiorito.
This will give the climbers a brief chance to flex their legs before stage four, which contains many large climbs and a flat finish into Trasacco. Stage five between Ascoli Piceno and Pergola is packed with climbs including the very steep Monte Santa Croce and Monte della Serra, but it’s stage six that is likely to decide the race. The only mountian top finish of the week will see the riders take on the punishing accent to Frontignano, a 7.6 kilometre climb with an average gradient of over 8%. With the G.C. likely decided there is a final sprint stage along the shores of the Adriatico to San Benedetto del Tronto to cap of week of hard racing.
Favorite on paper to take the race win goes to either Tom Pidcock (Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team) or fellow Brit Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates – XRG) who is backed up by his equally talented team mate Juan Ayuso. Leading the hunt on the sprint stages will be home town hero Jonathan Milan (Lidl – Trek), Olav Kooij (Team Visma – Lease a Bike), Biniam Girmay (Intermarché – Wanty) but asides all these names, most eyes will be on Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin – Deceuninck) to see how his form is looking ahead of the Spring classics which are just around the corner.
