Now that big climb is far from the finish and countrymiles of flat after that. Nothing will happen until the last 2 ramps (and even there...4-5 km flat inbetween the 2). Best stage f#cked up.

Correction: the big climb is nowhere now. The climb far from the finish isn't the big one. :eek:

You still have two even separated bumps. Still anything can happen if the riders want to.

Note: I just saw the original one. I understand now. I also saw they took the bigger climb. So now it is almost like a hill sprint. They should have gone with an additional bump to make it three continuous bumps and now you might have some carnage!!!

There is a rider called Alberto Contador Velasco who will attack on the last climb together with Lo Squalo. Then a furious descent. If the descent is technical we might at least see 10 second gaps between 3-5 sized groups.

Unfortunately there is 1-2 km of very light descent after the top of the climb.

Froome, Contador, Nibali and Quintana all confirmed :)

As well as we have the first clash between Cav and Kittel!

Kittle vs Cav will be a good contest as Cav's form has definitely picked up and I'm now with the thought they'll be very close, come July though who knows. I'd love to see Nibali and Nairo challenging AC/CF but not sure Vincenso will be there yet. What a cracking line up though. Is there a link to the confirmed start list now?

So this is between Froome and Contador, right? What excuse do Nibali and Quintana have so that everyone can maintain the illusion of the Big 4 riders having similar climbing and time trialling till the Tour?

Quintana has no excuse other than he crashed around a month ago. But he usually is in top form or at least in the front group.

BTW, does anybody has the final parcours of the race?

After the changes I am not sure what is in and what is out.

Thanks.

the profiles in the OP are linked to Gazzetta, so they are to be assumed as updated.

Tirreno Adriatico has become the most prestigious stage race of the year excluding GT's IMO. Who else agrees with me?

Based on route and field quality, for sure one of the best races.

Based on hype on this forum, Tirreno is not even Top 10 and the clear winner is TDU. It is amazing what the Aussie crowd is capable of and how hyped that event is even thought the participation quality is so so so so sub-par.:eek:
