Filippo Ganna (INEOS Grenadiers) raced to victory on stage 1 of Tirreno-Adriatico 2025 at an average speed of 56 km/h. The Italian relegated Juan Ayuso (UAE Team Emirates - XRG) to second place, who had beaten Ganna by one second in the opening time trial in Lido di Camaiore last year. "Of course it's much better to win by 23 seconds this year than last year's result," said Ganna in the official winner's interview.

The second stage of Tirreno-Adriatico 2025 continues on Tuesday. The riders will face 192 kilometres between Camaiore and Follonica. It is an almost completely flat stage, which is likely to see the first bunch sprint of the long-distance race this year.
