Tirreno-Adriatico 2025 - the route: all stages at a glance

The start and finish have remained unchanged since 2015: The race begins in Lido di Camaiore on the Tyrrhenian Sea and ends with the final finish in San Benedetto del Tronto on the Adriatic.

The seven stages will cover more than 1100 kilometres and 14,000 metres in altitude. In addition to the opening time trial, there are three stages that will presumably be decided in a bunch sprint, two stages where the hill specialists can show off their skills and a mountain arrival.

Since 2022, Tirreno-Adriatico has started with an individual time trial on the beach in Camaiore. This year there are 1.5 kilometres more than in 2024. Last year, Filippo Ganna (INEOS Grenadiers) was beaten by one second by Juan Ayuso (UAE Team Emirates). Will the Italian get his revenge?

Stage 2 takes the peloton south over 192 kilometres. There are no topographical difficulties to overcome. The finale will be a circuit of around 18 kilometres. Anything other than a bunch sprint would be a big surprise.

Stage 3 | Wednesday, 12 March 2025 | Follonica - Colfiorito (Foligno) | 239 kilometres | 3300 vertical metres

At 239 kilometres, stage 3 is also the longest of this year's long-distance race. There are several hills in the way, adding up to a total of 3300 metres in altitude according to the organisers. The finale is 18.5 kilometres uphill to Valico di Colfiorito. Although the climb is not particularly difficult with an average gradient of 3.1 per cent, it is likely to tip the scales for many riders after more than 200 kilometres in their legs. If the day's breakaway group is still within striking distance at the foot of the climb, there could be a sprint by a small group. Otherwise, it will probably be a day for the baroudeurs.

Stage 4 | Thursday, 13 March 2025 | Norcia - Trasacco | 190 kilometres | 2750 vertical metres

It's breakaway or sprinters on the fourth day of Tirreno-Adriatico 2025. The first 120 kilometres or so are a rollercoaster ride through the Apennines, although the climbs aren't too scary. The last 50 kilometres or so are almost completely flat. Here, teams with sprinters who are good on the hills would have the chance to catch up with any breakaway group.

Stage 5 | Friday, 14 March 2025 | Ascoli - Pergola | 205 kilometres | 3400 vertical metres

Once again, more than 200 kilometres await the riders. The finale features two climbs that could serve as a launch pad for a puncher's winning attack. The last kilometre is not without its challenges either. 900 metres before the finish there is another 10 per cent ramp.

Stage 6 | Saturday, 15 March 2025 | Cartoceto - Frontignano (Ussita) | 163 kilometres | 3400 vertical metres

Stage 6 is likely to decide the overall victory. 3400 metres of altitude have to be conquered this Saturday. A large part of this in the final climb to Frontignano. This is 7.7 kilometres long with an average gradient of 7.8 per cent. The steepest section with an average gradient of just over 8 per cent awaits between kilometres 6 and 11 of the climb. If you want to win the long-distance race, you have to attack here.

The final stage will take the riders back south to the Adriatic coast to Sen Benedetto del Tronto. At the end of Tirreno-Adriatico 2025, a 15-kilometre circuit will be cycled five times. In the end, the sprinters are likely to decide the day's victory among themselves.
