Tirreno-Adriatico 2020

The 55th edition of Tirreno-Adriatico will take place between 11-17 March 2020, just ahead of Milan-San Remo and the Spring Classics. 

The prestigious week-long WorldTour stage race carries the nickname 'the race of the two seas' given the route traditionally starts on the west coast of Italy, by the Tyrrhenian Sea, and ends on the other side of the country, by the Adriatic. 

The 2019 edition of Tirreno-Adriatico was won by Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma), who finished on the podium of three of the stages before overhauling Adam Yates (Mitchelton-Scott) on the final-day time trial by a single second to claim the title. 

The route for 2020 has not yet been unveiled, and it remains to be seen whether the organisers, RCS Sport, repeat this year's less mountainous format or whether they revert to the sort of terrain that has seen Nairo Quintana, Vincenzo, Nibali, and Alberto Contador triumph in recent years.
