The race follows its traditional path from the Tyrrhenian coast to the Adriatic, crossing five regions.
Stefano Allocchio, the Race Director of RCS Sport, emphasized that removing the high mountain finish does not mean the race will be easy by any means. “The route of the 61st Tirreno-Adriatico is born from the desire to return to the tradition of this race, which over the years has always been extremely selective even without resorting to the summit finish,” Allocchio explained. “We have built a hard course, with stages exceeding 3,500-4,000 meters of altitude difference and that will require great all-round ability.”
“In this sense, the Marche represents once again a central element of the ‘Race of the Two Seas’, offering an ideal context for the decisive stages of the race. We expect a world-class participation, in line with the history of a race that is already a hunting ground for riders who are protagonists on the most prestigious stages of the entire season, both in the Classics and in the Grand Tours.”
