The 54th edition of Tirreno-Adriatico features 1,040.5km of riding - www.tirrenoadriatico.it
The route traverses the width of Italy, and features mountainous climbs flanked by two flat time-trials - www.tirrenoadriatico.it
Stage 1 is a team time-trial on the Tyrrhenian coast - www.tirrenoadriatico.it
It's the same as last year's race and is completely flat, so expect high speeds - www.tirrenoadriatico.it
Stage 2 is a 189km race to Pomarance - www.tirrenoadriatico.it
It's a hilly one, concluding with a moderate 12km climb - www.tirrenoadriatico.it
Stage 3 moves through Siena and tackles the Passo del Rospatoio - www.tirrenoadriatico.it
It's a 224km route, which undulates mostly in the first half, culminating in a flat 30km stretch - www.tirrenoadriatico.it
Stage 4 is a war of attrition, comparable to Liège-Bastogne-Liège - www.tirrenoadriatico.it
Dotted with short and sharp climbs, it's a pretty tough stage to complete - www.tirrenoadriatico.it
Stage 5 is another hilly day, leading from Colli al Metauro to an uphill finish in Recanati - www.tirrenoadriatico.it
The last 85km include nine consecutive climbs, with ramps up to 18% - www.tirrenoadriatico.it
Stage 6 is likely to end in a fast finishers showdown - www.tirrenoadriatico.it
While it's pretty undulating to start with, it concludes with a three-lap 12.8km circuit around Jesi - www.tirrenoadriatico.it
Stage 7 marks the climax of Tirreno-Adriatico and ends in San Benedetto del Tronto - www.tirrenoadriatico.it
It culminates in the traditional individual time-trial up and down the flat Adriatic seafront - www.tirrenoadriatico.it

She’s spent the past three years volunteering as a mechanic and workshop coordinator at the Bristol Bike Project, and now sits on its board of directors. Her expertise in bikes — and what people want out of them — comes from working in real-world bike shops and learning the ins and outs of the industry.
