Tirreno Adriatico 2023 the profile of the 3rd stage and the

Third stage of the Tirreno-Adriatico this Wednesday March 8 with a stage intended once again for sprinters.

New bunch sprint coming to Tirreno Adriatico? The 3rd stage of the stage race takes place from Follonica to Foligno. 216 kilometers long, the latter offers a much more uneven course than the day before. Two “big” difficulties counting for the classification of best climber are at kilometers 77.1 and 114.1 and therefore far from the finish line. First of all the runners will climb the Passo del Lume Spento (12.5km at 4.2%) then will survey the climb of La Foce (5.3km at 4.5%).

Once again, a massive sprint is therefore expected and the leader’s jersey of Filippo Gana should not change ownership. After his victory yesterday, European champion Fabio Jakobsen is once again one of the big favorites in the race. Second, Jasper Philipsen will want to take his revenge while riders like Fernando Gaviria, Biniam Girmay, Phil Bauhaus, Peter Sagan will try to create a surprise.
