100km to go
2026-03-12T12:09:56.658Z
It is now a long descent to the penultimate categorised climb of the day, the Castellalto. The gap has stabilised at one minute and 25 seconds.
2026-03-12T12:08:51.440Z
Sevilla now dominates the KOM standings with 30 points to his name with Rochas and Slock new in the top three on 13 and 8 points respectively.

KOM (Valico delle Capannelle)
2026-03-12T11:56:43.538Z
The peloton have really stamped on the accelerator as the gap to the break takes a nose dive and is now barely above a minute as they crest the Valico delle Capannelle.
2026-03-12T11:50:27.582Z
15 points up for grabs for the first rider over the line. Will it be Sevilla in the KOM jersey?

110km to go
2026-03-12T11:45:58.996Z
The gap continues to drop to two minutes and 27 seconds with 3km to the top of the climb.
2026-03-12T11:40:20.021Z
It is a cold but, thankfully, dry day so far in the mountains. Snow capped peaks surround the riders but they will be thankful that they are not venturing up to those altitudes this week.

The elevation gain today is about 2500 metres according to the official race website.
2026-03-12T11:30:06.230Z
120km to go
2026-03-12T11:28:25.383Z
There are 15, 10, 7, 5, 3, 2 and 1 points available at the top of this climb. A potentially key moment for Sevilla and his quest for the green mountains jersey.
2026-03-12T11:27:32.332Z
As the second climb of the day gets going, the gap to the break takes a dive and now sits at just over three minutes.
2026-03-12T11:20:17.567Z
130km to go
2026-03-12T11:15:03.975Z
10km to the base of the second climb of the day, the Valico delle Capannelle.
2026-03-12T11:11:57.283Z
Just like I said, the gap continues to grow on the downhill and flat with the break expanding their lead to three and a half minutes.
2026-03-12T11:06:38.784Z
140km to go
2026-03-12T10:59:28.387Z
Three minutes of a gap splits the peloton, led by UAE Team Emirates-XRG, and the 12 man breakaway.
2026-03-12T10:53:00.275Z
150km to go
2026-03-12T10:50:36.561Z
The riders are now on the descent proper.
2026-03-12T10:47:20.599Z
The break have almost reinstated their three minute gap on the bunch.
2026-03-12T10:38:11.775Z
Over the top of the first climb of the day the break put a bit more time back into the peloton. The majority of the lead group are not climbers and will make the difference on the downhill and flat sections of today.
2026-03-12T10:31:52.131Z
Interestingly, it is UAE Team Emirates-XRG who are pushing the pace in the peloton. Perhaps a stage win is on the cards for Del Toro today.

Sevilla extends his lead to 11 points over Joan Bou (Caja Rural-Seguros RGA), who missed today’s move.

The break have lost over a minute on the peloton as the gap drops to two minutes and 10 seconds.
2026-03-12T10:21:53.694Z
Rochas bridges to the break with just 2km to the top of the first climb of the day. Chapeau to him!
2026-03-12T10:18:13.372Z
The top of the Ovindoli climb is the highest point of the day at over 1300 metres and the second highest of the race after the Sassotetto which just beats this climb by a few 100 metres.
2026-03-12T10:14:16.211Z
Sevilla, the KOM jersey wearer, is the only rider with any points in the breakaway today. However, he could easily be overtaken today with over 70 points on offer and a maximum of 30 points for one rider.
2026-03-12T10:11:20.765Z
The gap back to the peloton is now almost three and a half minutes.
2026-03-12T10:10:56.688Z
Rochas is doing a terrific job of closing the gap and is now just 33 seconds off the back of the breakaway.
2026-03-12T10:03:55.420Z
180km to go
2026-03-12T10:03:00.568Z
The break have started the first climb of the day, the 12km long Ovindoli with an average gradient of around 5%.
2026-03-12T09:58:48.187Z
The sun has come out! And this powerful break is extending it’s gap.

Attack
2026-03-12T09:51:47.130Z
This talent packed breakaway may get away as the gap expands to a minute.
2026-03-12T09:48:15.483Z
The gap extends to over 20 seconds.
2026-03-12T09:47:20.067Z

They only have about 12 seconds on the peloton.
2026-03-12T09:41:15.890Z
The break still have a small advantage on the peloton.
2026-03-12T09:39:27.649Z
Reports said the break were caught, but they are still pushing to stay clear.
2026-03-12T09:39:08.240Z
Attack!
2026-03-12T09:34:42.689Z
No attacks in the early kilometres. Perhaps they are waiting for the Ovindoli climb that comes after just over 25km of racing.

There is a maximum of 30 points available today in the mountains classification. The new green jersey wearer, Diego Pablo Sevilla (Polti-Visit Malta), was out solo for the first half of yesterday’s stage with his rivals taking minor points from the peloton. Will the Spaniard live to regret that effort with big points on offer today?

It was another amazing day for Lund Andresen and his new team Decathlon-CMA CGM as they celebrated taking victory in the bunch sprint…

2026-03-12T09:11:56.024Z
Del Toro and co will be hoping for more pleasant weather today after the long cold and wet day yesterday… Unfortunately for them, it is raining at the start.

2026-03-12T08:56:49.162Z
Some other riders who could be involved after a great start to the race are Andrea Vendrame (Jayco-AlUla), Julian Alaphilippe (Tudor), Paul Lapeira (Decathlon-CMA CGM), Thomas Silva (XDS-Astana), Wout Van Aert (Visma-Lease a Bike) among others.

2026-03-12T08:53:49.329Z
In reality, it’ll likely be a similar group that came to the line in San Gimignano on stage 2 with Van der Poel being key favourite yet again with some excellent training towards Milan-Sanremo on offer.

2026-03-12T08:52:36.547Z
However, the final lumps are far smaller than the first and could see some sprinters who can climb, such as Paul Magnier (Soudal-QuickStep), Lund Andresen, Jonathan Milan (Lidl-Trek), Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Premier Tech), all maybe have a chance.
2026-03-12T08:52:29.062Z
All that action brings us to today, We are over the half way point in the Race of the Two Seas and we have a very tasty looking stage on offer to entertain us. 213km (or 210km depending on the page on Tirreno-Adriatico’s website) of racing with four categorised climbs with one topping out with just under 15km remaining.

2026-03-12T08:48:38.537Z
And what a fascinating race it has been so far. The time trial on day one brought us some Ineos Grenadiers brilliance with three in the top four led by Filippo Ganna.
