The 2023 Tirreno-Adriatico will open with a summit finish in Sarnano Sassottetto on stage 5, and the race will again open with an individual time trial in Lido di Camaiore. The total climbing distance for this week-long event, which traverses central Italy to the Adriatic coast, is approximately 13,800 m.

Like last year, Tirreno-Adriatico will completely overlap with Paris-Nice, starting on Monday, March 6, six days before Milan-San Remo, and finishing on Sunday, March 12. 3]

Also, for the second year in a row, RCS Sport will hold an individual time trial instead of a team test on the first day, with riders tackling the 11.5 km flat course of the Lido di Camaiore. [Stage 2 is from Camaiore to Follonica, while stage 3 is a 216-km trek from Tuscany into Umbria, finishing in Foligno.

Stage 4 is a 219 km trek from Greccio to Tortoreto, with a 3 km climb to the finish with an average gradient of 7%.

Most notably, the next day's stage will feature a summit finish at Sarnano Sassotet, 1,465 meters above sea level.

The Marche Province climb appeared in the 2017 and 2020 Tirreno Adriatico, but this time it will be 2 km longer than when Mikel Landa and Simon Yates won the stage.

Perhaps the toughest stage will take place on the final day, from Osimo Stazione to Osimo, where the riders will tackle the steep "walls" typical of the region, the so-called "muri Marchigiani. The total climbing distance of stage 6 is over 3,000 meters, and the gradient on the finish circuit reaches 20%.

In the 2018 Giro d'Italia, Simon Yates and Tom Dumoulin had an impressive duel on the steep climb into the impressive medieval center of Osimo.

The race, the 57th in the 58-year history of the Tirreno-Adriatico, concludes in the coastal town of San Benedetto del Tronto. Like last year, the traditional final time trial will be scrapped and sprinters will enjoy new opportunities by the sea at the end of the 154-km stage.

Tadej Pogacar won the 2022 Tirreno-Adriatico for the second year in a row, beating Tour de France champion Jonas Vingegaard to second place. Jai Hindley was fifth overall and Lemko Evenpoel was eleventh, closing in on Pogacar for the first five days.

"We enjoyed a very spectacular Tirreno-Adriatico, thanks to the presence of great stars of cycling who made our race the most important week of racing in the world," at the route presentation in Camaiore on Thursday. Director Mauro Veni said.
