Cav' Posted March 11, 2014 Share On the 11th of april 1966, the gun went off for the first time in a new multiple stage race, Tirreno-Adriatico, “the race of the two seas” was born. The first edition of the race was won by the Italian Dino Zandegu, followed by his fellow countryman Vito Taccone in the same time as the winner. Roger De Vlaeminck holds the record by winning the race 6 times in a row between ’72 and ’77. Most recently Cadel Evans, Vincenzo Nibali, Michele Scarponi and Fabian Cancellara each clinched a title. It is the only stage race missing from Eddy Merckx palmarès. This and Paris-Nice are seen as preperation for the 1st major classic of the season, Milan – San Remo. Strangely enough only three riders achieved that ‘Italian double’ objective; Roger de Vlaeminck did it in 1973, Maurizio Fondriest managed it in 1993 and Giorgio Furlan won both the following year. Who will wear the distictive Blue leaders jersey and take home one the best trophies in cycling. Edited March 11, 2014 by Cav' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
