Tirreno-Adriatico

Where: Italy
When: March 13-19 2019
Rank: UCI WorldTour

The 2019 edition of Tirreno-Adriatico will see the week long stage race enter its 54th year.

Last year’s win went to Michał Kwiatkowski, whilst 2017’s victor was Nairo Quintana who also won in 2015. Both Alberto Contador and Vincenzo Nibali have two wins to their names, too

Tirreno-Adriatico often serves as a preparation ground for those aiming for Milan-San Remo glory as well as those riders thinking of taking home the maglia rosa at the Giro d’Italia in May.

But much like Paris-Nice, the other week-long stage race that runs concurrently, Tirreno has prestige in its own right, with a roll call of winners that would be the envy of any race.
