Tirreno-Adriatico 2023: Route and start list

The Italian stage race Tirreno-Adriatico will be back for its 58th edition between 6-12 March, bringing seven days of action-packed racing. 

Beginning on the the country's Tyrrhenian coast, the peloton will make their way inland, battling tough climbs and tricky sprints, en route to the Adriatic sea. 

Below are details of the 2023 route, as well as a list of the riders who will be competing. One notable absentee from this year's race is two-time winner and reigning champion Tadej Pogačar, who has instead chosen to ride Paris-Nice, an equivalent weeklong event that runs in France at the same time.

Tirreno-Adriatico 2023: route

As has become customary at Tirreno-Adriatico, this year's race will open with a short individual time trial in Lido di Camaiore, a coastal city in the west of the country. 

From there, the journey eastwards commences. Stages two and three - both over 200km in length - offer long days in the saddle that look destined for sprint finishes. 

On stage four, a punchy finishing circuit in Tortoreto brings the first test for the climbers, who will ride three times up a 3km ascent, pitched at an average gradient of 7%. 

The race's only summit finish comes on stage five, in the form of Sarnano-Sassotetto. Gaining almost 1,000 metres in altitude, the climb stretches out over 13km, averaging 7.4%. It's steepest gradients come in the middle, with ramps at 14%. 

The climbing then continues into the penultimate day, with a series of sharp ascents in Osimo, where stage six finishes. 

The race will close on Sunday 12 March with a seafront circuit in San Benedetto del Tronto, where the sprinters should have their day again. 

In total, the peloton will ride 1,170.5km, racking up some 13,800 metres of climbing.
