The 2020 Tirreno-Adriatico is here - find out how to watch all the action live in this delayed edition of the race.

The race begins on Monday September 7, with a host of Grand Tour and sprinting stars taking to the start line.

Like everything else, Tirreno-Adriatico was pushed back from it's normal slot in March due to the global pandemic, but the race between the two seas is here.

We don't have the usual start with a team time trial, instead the riders have two sprint stages to settle in before heading into the hills and mountains where the GC riders can sharpen their form as they head towards the Giro d'Italia and La Vuelta a España.

Check out the full route here.

The Italian week long event has attracted big names, including Grand Tour hopefuls like Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers), Chris Froome (Ineos Granadiers), Vincenzo Nibali (Trek-Segafredo), Simon Yates (Mitchelton-Scott) and Jakob Fuglsang (Astana).

And sprinters such as Pascal Ackermann (Bora-Hansgrohe), Fernando Gaviria (UAE Team Emirates) and Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Fenix).

Primož Roglič (Jumbo-Visma) won the 2019 edition of the race by just a single second over Adam Yates (Mitchelton-Scott). Neither rider will race this year as they are busy battling for yellow at the Tour de France.

Here is the full start-list for the 2020 Tirreno-Adriatico 

Eurosport will be showing the race live, on Eurosport 1 each day along with uninterrupted coverage on Eurosport Player and the GCN Race Pass.

How to live stream the Tirreno-Adriatico 2020 when you’re not in your country

If you’re heading abroad during the racing –whether that be inside the UK or anywhere else – you may find access to your favourite home broadcaster is restricted by location. Luckily there is a way you can keep watching anyway – downloading and installing a VPN, which allows you to trick your computer into thinking it’s back at home. This allows you to find your native broadcaster coverage without having to resort to an illegal steam, as long as you stick to the terms and conditions set out by the broadcaster.

Setting up a VPN is simple – just download, install, open the app and select your location.

Try out ExpressVPN for its speed, security and simplicity to use. We also like that it’s compatible with so many devices and streaming services (e.g. Amazon Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, Xbox, PS4, etc).

There are other great options out there of course, but Express VPN gives you the added benefit of a 30-day money back guarantee and three months free with a yearly plan.

Hi, I'm one of Cycling Weekly's content writers for the web team responsible for writing stories on racing, tech, updating evergreen pages as well as the weekly email newsletter. Proud Yorkshireman from the UK's answer to Flanders, Calderdale, go check out the cobbled climbs!


I started watching cycling back in 2010, before all the hype around London 2012 and Bradley Wiggins at the Tour de France. In fact, it was Alberto Contador and Andy Schleck's battle in the fog up the Tourmalet on stage 17 of the Tour de France.


It took me a few more years to get into the journalism side of things, but I had a good idea I wanted to get into cycling journalism by the end of year nine at school and started doing voluntary work soon after. This got me a chance to go to the London Six Days, Tour de Yorkshire and the Tour of Britain to name a few before eventually joining Eurosport's online team while I was at uni, where I studied journalism. Eurosport gave me the opportunity to work at the world championships in Harrogate back in the awful weather.


After various bar jobs, I managed to get my way into Cycling Weekly in late February of 2020 where I mostly write about racing and everything around that as it's what I specialise in but don't be surprised to see my name on other news stories.


When not writing stories for the site, I don't really switch off my cycling side as I watch every race that is televised as well as being a rider myself and a regular user of the game Pro Cycling Manager. Maybe too regular.


My bike is a well used Specialized Tarmac SL4 when out on my local roads back in West Yorkshire as well as in northern Hampshire with the hills and mountains being my preferred terrain.
