Tim Bonville-Ginn

Very strong ride. Also, with the way the route is, I wouldn't be surprised if Ganna and Sheffield stay around the top 10 to 15 by the final stage

That was always scheduled, though. It wasn't scheduled today to do that originally

As it happened: Italian champion schools the peloton to take Tirreno-Adriatico 2026 stage 1 The time trial was dominated by Ineos Grenadiers with three riders in the top four

He did indeed... Just his thing now, isn't it

He said this afterwards... "the feeling was good, I came in without expectations for the TT, I pushed a little bit for a warm up for the rest of the race. I hope to be there to battle for a stage win so we shall have a few stages to try and go for it."

Yeah he's flown in the second half of this TT. He was one of the first off the ramp but a lot of riders have now finished. Roglic, Ganna, Van der Poel, Healy and more to come, though

Both Sheffield 🇺🇸 and Walscheid 🇩🇪 go fastest at the split with 12" on Hatherly 🇿🇦, but the South African was a rocket in the second half of the race and has put in plenty time to the UAE Team Emirates-XRG riders that have come and gone.

Here is my 'how to watch' for Tirreno-Adriatico 🇮🇹 for my debut on Velora!

Day two at Paris-Nice 🇫🇷 is for the pure sprinters with Lamperti 🇺🇸 hoping to hold into yellow.

Girmay 🇪🇷, Bauhaus 🇩🇪, Ackermann 🇩🇪, Bol 🇳🇱, Kanter 🇩🇪, Fretin 🇧🇪, Pluimers 🇳🇱, Van Uden 🇳🇱, Van den Berg 🇳🇱, Løland 🇳🇴, Houcou 🇫🇷, Turgis 🇫🇷, Plowright 🇦🇺, Menten 🇧🇪, Aular 🇻🇪, Stuyven🇧🇪, I. Oliveira🇵🇹, Zingle🇫🇷, and more.

Day one at Tirreno-Adriatico 🇮🇹 and it is the usual ITT in Lido di Camaiore.

Ganna 🇮🇹 is the big favourite but how will the likes of Del Toro 🇲🇽, Christen 🇨🇭, Roglič 🇸🇮, Pellizzari 🇮🇹, Van der Poel 🇳🇱, Van Aert 🇧🇪, Healy 🇮🇪, Carapaz 🇪🇨, Ciccone 🇮🇹, Arensman 🇳🇱, Van Eetvelt 🇧🇪 etc do against the clock?

S7. Civitanova Marche to San Benedetto del Tronto (142km)

The classic finale to the race in San Benedetto del Tronto comes again. The TT is long gone but the sprint stage seems here to stay. Albeit, with two small climbs along the way, including the categorised Ripatransone.

S6. San Severino Marche to Camerino (188km)

The final GC day of the race sees the riders tackle yet another brutal looking stage with 3 ascents of the Camerino climb as well as an earlier ascent of the Sassotetto climb. Could Van der Poel 🇳🇱 potentially still be in the mix by this point?

S5. Marotta-Mondolfo to Mombaroccio (184km)

One of the two key GC stages towards the end of the race comes on this day with two ascents of the Santuario Beato Sante among other climbs. It isn't a summit finish, after the peak the riders quickly plummet to the finish in Mombaroccio.

S4. Tagliacozzo to Martinsicuro (213km)

A day that looks tailor made for a breakaway, but will the big names in the bunch allow it to succeed?

S3. Cortona to Magliano de' Marsi (221km)

A day that looks set for the sprinters. Will Philipsen 🇧🇪 find his luck? Or will it be more about the in form stars of Milan 🇮🇹 and Magnier 🇫🇷?

S2. Camaiore to San Gimignano (206km)

A stage I am very excited about. Not just because of the parcour and the gravel climb to the finish, which will throw the cat amongst the pigeons, but because of the finish location. The UNESCO World Heritage site is a place I would love to return one day.

S1. Lido di Camaiore to Lido di Camaiore (11.5km ITT)

The traditional curtain raiser for the race is set to be the start yet again. Ganna 🇮🇹 will be hoping to take another TT win after the Italian champ bested the rest in the Algarve earlier in the year.

Del Toro 🇲🇽, Christen 🇨🇭, Roglič 🇸🇮, Pellizzari 🇮🇹, Hindley 🇦🇺, Van der Poel 🇳🇱, Philipsen 🇧🇪, Tiberi 🇮🇹, Buitrago 🇨🇴, Lund 🇩🇰, Carapaz 🇪🇨, Healy 🇮🇪, Ganna 🇮🇹, Arensman 🇳🇱, Welsford 🇦🇺, Ciccone 🇮🇹, J. Milan 🇮🇹, De Lie 🇧🇪, Van Eetvelt 🇧🇪, Magnier 🇫🇷, Van Wilder 🇧🇪, Van Aert 🇧🇪, Jorgenson 🇺🇸, Alaphilippe 🇫🇷 and more racing.

Tirreno-Adriatico 🇮🇹 2026

The race of the two seas comes with a very interesting parcour for 2026 that should see a brilliant and open race with a stacked lineup of star riders set to start in Lido di Camaiore.
