2026 Tirreno-Adriatico course revealed
Promoter RCS Sport unveiled the route for March's Tirreno-Adriatico stage race, and the key takeaway is it's one for the puncheurs. The race starts with the short (11.5 km) and flat individual time trial at Lido di Camaiore that has become customary in recent years.
From there, the "Race of the Two Seas" heads into Tuscany and the Marches for a series of tricky, hilly stages. There are no major summit finishes, but stages 2, 5 and 6 all feature short but steep ascents at or very near the finish. Stage 2 finishes in the hilltop town of San Gimignano, famous for its old city center and surviving medieval towers. The race starts March 9 and finishes a week later in San Benedetto del Tronto.
