Seven stages, 1,130 km, and 14,610 meters of elevation gain.
These are the key figures of the Tirreno-Adriatico Crédit Agricole, presented today at the Teatro della Concordia in San Benedetto del Tronto. The 2025 edition will mark the 60th anniversary of the “Race of the Two Seas“, with all editions taking place consecutively, a significant milestone for an event that has evolved continuously, becoming a cornerstone of the cycling season.
This is confirmed by recent winners since 2019, including Grand Tour champions such as Simon Yates, Primož Roglič, Tadej Pogačar, and Jonas Vingegaard. The long journey through central Italy, touching five regions, will begin on March 10 in Lido di Camaiore with an individual time trial and conclude, as per tradition, on March 16 in San Benedetto del Tronto.
In between, the usual combination of stages for sprinters and opportunities for puncheurs will culminate in the Cartoceto-Frontignano stage, a climbers’ test with a finish on an ascent never used before.

STAGE 1: LIDO DI CAMAIORE-LIDO DI CAMAIORE TUDOR ITT, 9.9 KM
A perfectly flat individual time trial consisting of two nearly straight sectors running out and back along the seafronts of Camaiore and Viareggio, with only a few connecting bends and a U-turn at the halfway point. The U-turn is located at km 5.4 in Viareggio, where split time is taken. Riders will then return straight to Lido di Camaiore, where an S-turn leads into the final kilometre.
STAGE 2: CAMAIORE-FOLLONICA, 189 KM
A dynamic and intricate stage, especially in its second half. Starting in Camaiore, the route passes through Montemagno to reach Pisa and then the Livorno area. Leaving the coast near Cecina, it heads inland towards Canneto. After completing a long section that is mostly downhill, the riders will enter a final circuit of approximately 20 km, which will be repeated once.
STAGE 3: FOLLONICA-COLFIORITO (FOLIGNO), 239 KM
A very long stage with a fairly undulating first part. Starting from Follonica, the route crosses the northern part of the Grosseto province, skirting Monte Amiata and passing into the Siena area, climbing Passo del Lume Spento and La Foce before reaching Montalcino and Chiusi. The terrain then becomes gentler, crossing the plains around Lake Trasimeno to Foligno via mostly straight roads, at times with narrow sections. After Foligno, the stage concludes with the final climb to the Valico di Colfiorito, located about 4 km from the finish.
STAGE 4: NORCIA-TRASACCO, 184 KM
A very undulating stage with an absolutely flat finish. The riders will tackle several long Apennine climbs (around 15 km each), which are not particularly steep, before descending into the Fucino plain. Upon reaching Trasacco, the route includes a circuit of approximately 14 km to be completed twice.
STAGE 5: ASCOLI PICENO-PERGOLA, 196 KM
A very undulating stage dotted with numerous climbs, some of which are classified as KOMs. The route features at least nine climbs, starting in Ascoli Piceno and passing through Croce di Casale, Amandola, Sarnano, and Tolentino. Heading consistently northward, the route crosses the slopes of Monte San Vicino before entering the challenging final segment. After Castelleone di Suasa, riders will tackle the steep ascents of Monte Santa Croce and Monte della Serra, both of which feature long, very steep sections. The latter climb is followed by a descent into the center of Pergola, leading to the finish.
STAGE 6: CARTOCETO-FRONTIGNANO, 166 KM
This is the toughest stage of the Tirreno-Adriatico, featuring an uphill finish. The route winds through the valleys of inland Marche, rising and falling continuously in the first part, and alternating with significant climbs such as Crispiero and the Valico delle Arette, after the ascent to the Santuario di Macereto. In the final part, the race passes through Ussita, Visso, and Castelsantangelo sul Nera before tackling the decisive final climb.
STAGE 7: PORTO POTENZA PICENA-SAN BENEDETTO DEL TRONTO, 147 KM
A relatively flat stage in the first part and completely flat for the last 80 km. The race begins along the Adriatic coast before entering the Aso Valley from Pedaso. There is a short climb to Santa Maria della Fede, followed by a final easy ascent to Ripatransone. A long descent leads to Grottammare before entering a 15 km circuit, which will be repeated five times. The circuit consists mostly of wide, straight, paved roads.
