lechatnoir Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 I wonder what they thought after that last climb and he was just behind them..and when he latched on again.. surely they must have thought oh well there goes the stage win.[emoji39] or hoping that he was too cooked to compete for the win[emoji23] [emoji23] Quintana tootles up the climb and Sagan is just behind... I just shook my head. Sagan is just a brute on stages like today's

Gen Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 Today's stage http://www.tirrenoadriatico.it/en/percorso/ ROUTEThe stage is wavy but uncomplicated. The first part runs in the hinterland, across Comunanza, Amandola and Sarnano. The route then enters the province of Macerata to tackle the final categorised climb of the race in Pollenza. The course then follows constant undulations, running across a number of hilltop towns such as Montecassiano, Montefano, Recanati (intermediate sprint) and Loreto. The route eventually enters the final circuit (1 lap), where the last intermediate sprint will be awarded upon the passage on the finish line.FINAL KILOMETRESThe final circuit is 15.2 km long. The first part runs flat from the seafront to the city centre, with traffic dividers and a wide underpass with a central pillar on the course. A mild climb, approx. 4 km in length, leads to Civitanova Marche, followed by a technical descent leading back to the seafront. The last 4 km are on straight roads, with just two wide-ranging bends just before the final kilometre. The road is 7.5-m wide on tarmac.STARTAscoli Piceno: the town in the Marche region was created to be admired. With the largest old city centre in the region full of history, architecture and art, Ascoli Piceno is one of the monumental cities of Italy. Its centre is built in travertine marble and Piazza del Popolo is considered the most beautiful Italian Renaissance square, with Palazzo dei Capitani del Popolo, one of the best known historic buildings of Ascoli Piceno and its medieval Crenellated Tower, looking on to it. The oldest square in Ascoli is actually Piazza Arringo, surrounded by architectural works of art such as Palazzo Fonzi, Palazzo dell’Arrengo, Palazzo Vescovile, the Cathedral of Sant’Emidio and the St. John Baptistery. Football is the most popular sport, followed by a great cycling tradition which has seen Ascoli as a stage city in the Giro d’Italia no fewer than five times.FINISHCivitanova Marche: a tourist resort on the Adriatic, in the summer it can boast countless beaches and activities for all ages. Its cycling path along the sea front is part of the Adriatic Cycling Path, destined to become the point of cycling connection between all the towns on the Adriatic coast. Historically linked to cycling as the base of professional teams of the recent past. For tourists who do not restrict themselves to sports and leisure activities, interesting monuments to visit are the Palazzo Ducale Cesarini-Sforza and, from the Art Nouveau period, the Lido Cluana and Villa Conti.
