Seven stages, 1,147 km, and 14,400 meters of elevation gain: these are the key numbers of the Tirreno-Adriatico Crédit Agricole, which will kick off on Monday, March 10, in Lido di Camaiore and conclude, as per tradition, on March 16 in San Benedetto del Tronto.
The 60th edition of the Race of the Two Seas will feature some of the biggest names in international cycling, starting with former world champion and three-time stage winner Mathieu Van der Poel, making his final preparations ahead of Milan-Sanremo.
The list of top stage hunters includes Filippo Ganna (3 wins), Jonathan Milan (2 wins), Biniam Girmay, Thomas Pidcock, Olav Kooij, Dylan Groenewegen, and Paul Magnier.
The battle for the Maglia Azzurra promises to be just as intense. Past winners of the Tridente di Nettuno lining up include Nairo Quintana (2015, 2017), Michal Kwiatkowski (2018), and Simon Yates (2020), though Juan Ayuso and Jai Hindley, second and third in 2024, lead the favorites.
Also on the entry list are Adam Yates, Richard Carapaz, Mikel Landa, David Gaudu, Antonio Tiberi, Giulio Ciccone, and Derek Gee.
