2015 Tirreno - Adriatico Route Unveiled

[LaFlorecita]

Terminillo is a HC climb:

They ride until Campoforogno (1675 m)

17 km 6.78 % if we take the whole climb.
If we discount the last almost flat km and the first one (2.9%), we have 15 km with an average of 7.36 %.
There is also another flat km in the middle of the climb. For most part, the gradients are between 7 and 9%.

A perfect climb to make the difference.

Ah, my mistake, I didn't know they won't ride the entire climb.

IMO better. In case they'd do the whole climb....those 3 km of false flat would be at a crucial point where normally the action starts (5-6 km from the finish).
Now we have steady climbing until the 1 km banner.

Yes I agree. Which is why I thought there was no way someone could get a 1 minute gap. But with 7km at 7% it should be very well possible (but someone would have to attack from far out)

Wow,thats a good point, I thought they will ride whole climb too .This looks more interesting now,but without Froome it probably won't be so entertaining either,unless Nibs or Quintana surprise us.

Alberto domination is entertaining and better for my heart but I think Nairito will be in good shape
