The race: Here's the story from stage winner Rohan Dennis' BMC team.
14 March 2017, San Benedetto del Tronto (ITA): After over 1,000km of racing the final podium at Tirreno-Adriatico came down to a 10km time trial along the San Benedetto del Tronto seafront with Rohan Dennis proving that he was the fastest man against the clock, taking the stage win and securing second overall on the General Classification.
As Dennis headed out onto the course, he was chasing the early benchmark set by Jos Van Emden (Team LottoNL-Jumbo) of 11'21". But with the course being completely flat it was the perfect time trial for the current Australian national time trial champion to show why he is known as one of the best time trialists in the world, clocking a time of 11'18" on the line.
With only two riders still to come home, it was a short but nervous wait in the hot seat to find out the outcome of the General Classification. In the end, Dennis' time was enough to see him move into second overall, 25 seconds behind Nairo Quintana (Movistar Team).
Winner's Interview with Rohan Dennis
Congratulations, Rohan! You started this week with a win in the team time trial and finished it off with the win today. Can you describe how this week has been for you?
"It has been a very good week for both myself and the team. To start off with a win and then hold onto the leader's jersey for three days was great. I am really happy that I was able to take the win today and move into second overall on the GC. The work the team did for me over the whole week was incredible. Today's victory really shows that all of the guys' faith in me was worth it."
How was it out on the course today?
"It wasn't easy. I went out to half way trying to stick to one plan and then try and lift the pace for the second half. I tried to break it up into little parts, thinking about when I could get a rest and when I couldn't. But it was a tough course out there, especially with the headwind home."
Greg Van Avermaet: "I am happy with my Tirreno-Adriatico. There were a few chances for me, but I leave this race feeling good, and I am happy with my form. I didn't come into this race looking to defend my title, it was about continuing my preparations for the Classics, and I think it has been a success in that respect. I am looking forward to the races coming up."
Manuel Quinziato: "I did what I could today, and honestly I am happy with my shape this week as I had a late start to the season. I think I did a good job on the way out today and then on the last few kilometers, I dropped the speed a little. But I can be happy, and I feel like I honored my national champion's jersey. It has been a really great week for the whole team so, I think we can leave Tirreno-Adriatico satisfied that we all gave 100%."
Sports Director, Max Sciandri: "I think we took the maximum we could out of this race. Winning the opening team time trial was an important goal for us and then being able to back it up with the final stage win capped off a great week. Regarding the General Classification, I think we can be really happy with how Rohan Dennis performed. He rode exceptionally well and this week has been a great learning experience for him."
"For Tejay van Garderen this was only his second race of the season, and it was his first big test. It was good to see him finding his racing mindset once again, and I thought he looked good when he attacked at the end of stage 5. The rest of the team did a great job all week. The guys rode well as a team, and it was great to see how strong guys like Manuel Quinziato, Daniel Oss, and Jempy Drucker were riding out at the front of the peloton for much of the race."

Fernando Gaviria beats Peter Sagan to take stage 6
The race: Here's the stage story from stage winner Fernando Gaviria's Quick Step team.
Fernando Gaviria returned to winning ways, four weeks after nabbing a stage at Volta ao Algarve. This time, the 22-year-old South American came out on top at Tirreno-Adriatico, same race which last year witnessed his first World Tour success, on a day made exciting by the countless attacks launched by several riders on a small lump with stiff gradients coming nine kilometers from the finish.
Until that point, Julien Vermote put in a mountain of work at the head of the bunch, setting a strong pace behind the eight escapees and controlling their advantage, before clawing them back – with the help of Dimension Data and Team Sky – in the final part of the stage to Civitanova Marche. On the unclassified climb, some riders threw caution to the wind, but Luxembourg Champion Bob Jungels covered these attacks, before Niki Terpstra joined a four-man move which opened a 10-second gap over the top of the hill.
Behind, Peter Sagan (Bora-Hansgrohe) accelerated, trying to split the field, but Fernando Gaviria responded immediately and jumped on the world champion's wheel. On the flat section towards the line, the bunch reabsorbed the group of Niki Terpstra and the sprinters began moving to the front, despite the messy finish which splintered the peloton before the flamme rouge. Gaviria made the most out of his incredible turn of speed, going in a head-to-head contest with Sagan and defeating him for his fourth victory of the year.
"I'm happy to take this victory, it's a well-deserved success for our squad after a week during which we worked and fought hard. I knew it was the last opportunity for the sprinters and to get another win at Tirreno-Adriatico makes me very happy. This victory gives me confidence for the upcoming races", said Fernando Gaviria, one of the two Colombian riders to nab a win in the "Race of the Two Seas" since its inception, in 1966.
The data provided by his Velon tracker – a maximum power peak of 1277W during the 260m-long sprint which saw him hit a 69.8km/h top speed on the seafront of Civitanova Marche – come as testimony of how strong the Quick-Step Floors rider was on that crucial part of the stage.
"When Sagan attacked, I followed him and thanks to the fact Niki was in the front I could stay relaxed on his wheel. In the final 200 meters, I kept my eyes on him and when I noticed he wanted to open his sprint, I decided to move first. I had good legs and enough power to keep a small gap, even if he was coming back really strongly. He is one of the best riders in the peloton and to beat him it's an honor", concluded Fernando, who brought Quick-Step Floors' 16th victory of the year.

Peter Sagan just beats Thibaut Pinot to win stage 5
The race: Here's the story from stage winner Peter Sagan's Bora-hansgrohe team.
Peter Sagan takes victory number 92 in style in nail-biting finale to Tirreno Adriatico stage 5
A tough stage with an even tougher finish was on the cards for the riders today. After a relentlessly undulating profile that got harder as the stage went on, two tough ramps in the finale meant only the strongest would be able to contest the finish. Surrounded by all-rounders and GC riders alike, the UCI World Champion was the picture of controlled calm, as he picked off his rivals in a final push to the line to take the win in style, ably supported in the final kilometres by his BORA-hansgrohe teammates, and to regain the red points jersey.
209km and a rolling profile would separate riders from the start in Rieti and a chance for victory in Fermo. The first 100km were gentle enough – a steady climb before an equally steady descent, but from here the whole character of the day would change, with one gradual climb replaced with a sawtooth profile for the rest of the stage. If the parcours wasn’t hard enough, the final kilometre brought with it a 22% ramp before a 10% scramble to the finish. This was a finale that didn’t suit any one type of rider and anyone could take the win.
As expected, a break went off early on – trying to make the most of the more gradual start to the day before the really hard climbs began appearing on the horizon. A group of eleven bumped their advantage up to four minutes, but not long after were reeled back in to a more manageable two minutes. This was a stage where strategy and a lucky break could win, so none of the teams was taking any chances. With 90km remaining, it was all back together, only for another break to go at the 80km mark – this time a much bigger group of thirty, with another smaller group attacking off the front of this one.
The final 35km were cruel – with multiple steep ramps followed by equally steep descents – sapping the energy from the riders’ legs and bringing the escape back within touching distance. The whole peloton was doubtless thinking about the final 22% ramp that would prove decisive, and were saving their legs. In the peloton, UCI World Champion, Peter Sagan, was doing exactly that. On the big climbs, the Slovak rider was rooted to his saddle while others around him were grinding their way up. Also visible in the bunch was Rafał Majka, pushing hard at the front to support Peter, but there was no hiding from the fact it was getting harder, as the peloton started shedding riders as the GC contenders started pushing as well as the all-rounders. Picking off riders one by one, Peter took to the front on the 22% ramp as the cobblestone streets narrowed, finally kicking and leaving everyone behind to take the win in the most amazing style.
After such a tough final kilometre, Peter didn’t even have the chance to celebrate his win on the line, it was such a hard effort. “I felt very bad today, but I am very happy for this win. It was looking like I wouldn’t be able to race tomorrow – all day it was full gas, with everyone attacking. I don’t know if the other riders saw the profile? Rafał Majka was the guy who put his trust in me today. I said to him not to be stupid – that we’ll go together, and if he had the legs he’d go. He worked for me and trusted my ability more than I did. I was actually dropped in the last climb, but just got back in the final kilometre. After that I did my best and am very happy with the victory.”
Team Coach, Patxi Vila, saw just how important teamwork was in getting Peter to the line. “Congratulations to Peter and the entire team for this victory. They all gave their absolute best today. We knew it would be a very tough stage for Peter – near his limits – with almost 3,000m of climbing. The pace was really fast from start and we controlled from the outset. Initially we pulled with Pelucchi and Saramontins, then Bodnar took over, followed by Burghardt and Poljanski. Finally Rafał Majka did a lot of work at the end, giving Peter the opportunity to do a great sprint. I have to say it was one of the nicest victories and it’s due to the dedication and hard work of the whole squad. We felt confident we could do it and everybody was committed and gave their best.”

Nairo Quintana wins stage 4
The race: here's the story from 3rd place Adam Yates' Orica-Scott team.
2017 GP Larciano winner Adam Yates produced another fantastic performance for Orica-Scott today, climbing into third place on stage four of Tirreno Adriatico to move into second on the general classification and also the best young riders white jersey.
One climb dominated the make up of today’s Queen stage and the anticipated battle on the slopes of the Terminnillo did not disappoint.
After the early breakaway had been caught a selection of race favourites formed inside the final 15kilometres and the attacks duly started to spring. Yates, supported by Roman Kreuziger and Luke Durbridge until the last six kilometres was riding strongly and after thinning the group out with a punchy attack rode away with an elite group of less than ten riders.
Over the last couple of kilometres Nairo Quintana (Movistar) unleashed a series of devastating attacks and rode away to the stage win with Yates brilliantly holding his own and pushing on for third place and the podium.
“The team rode very well today,” said Sport director Matt White. “They were strong and rode with intelligence. It was looking a little bit dangerous going onto the last climb because the breakaway still had a small gap, but in the end it was finally caught and we saw the favourites show themselves.”
“Roman and Luke stayed up there with Adam until the last few kilometres, with Roman policing any attacks and Luke, who is climbing very strongly at the moment, taking a couple of big turns at the front to bring things back together again. From there it was up to Adam and he didn’t disappoint, especially when you consider that today was only Adam’s eighth race day of 2017 and the first real sustained climb of the season.
“Of course we are very happy with today’s result and our position on the general classification, but there is still a long way to go and tomorrow’s stage in particular will be very difficult and there could easily be more changes to come.”
How it happened:
The Terminillo stage had finally arrived and another beautiful Italian morning welcomed the riders to the start in Montalto di Castro. A group of six riders skipped off the front in the first 20kilometres and formed the first break of the day.
The peloton were happy to let the move go and after 65kilometres of racing the six leaders had a ten-minute advantage as they started up the first climb of the day, La Colonetta. Working well together throughout the mid section of the stage, the breakaway were still over seven minutes ahead as they entered the final 50 kilometres with the brutal Termnillo climb looming ahead.
The race hit a long descent with 30kilometres to go as Sunweb started to up the pace in the bunch, immediately reducing the gap to the leaders to within four minutes.
As the climb began only one rider remained out front at 50seconds, but not for much longer. The peloton split as the climb intensified with the general classification teams forming the selection.
Kreuziger followed an attack by Michael Kwiatkowski (Team-Sky) with 12kilometres to go and made up a group of five alongside Simon Spilak (Katusha-Alpecin) and Johnathan Castroviejo (Movistar).
Inside the last ten kilometres and five became two as Kreuziger dropped back into the favourites group alongside Durbridge and Yates, leaving only Kwiatkowski and Spilak at 50seconds.
Attacks continued to fly and with four kilometres remaining a strong acceleration from Yates split the group completely leaving less than ten riders behind the leading duo.
Quintana passed Spilak at two kilometres and accelerated away to win the stage as Yates chased valiantly behind and into third on the stage and second in the provisional standings.
Tomorrow’s stage five is a tough one and covers 210kilometres from Rieti to Fermo on the Adriatic coast. Lots of sharp climbs and technical descents fill the course before an uphill finish that starts with ramps reaching 22%.

Peter Sagan wins Tirreno-Adriatico stage 3. Sirotti photo
Weather at the finish town of Montalto di Castro at 2:50 PM, local time: Sunny and windy, 21C (70F) with the wind from the NNE at 34 km/hr (21 mph).
The race: Here's the summary from stage winner Peter Sagan's Bora-hansgrohe team.
After holding back on yesterday’s finish, there was no stopping the UCI World Champion, Peter Sagan, in today’s finale. With breakneck speeds in the peloton in the final 10km, the BORA-hansgrohe riders drove the pace high and brought the Slovak rider to another win – making it look easy as only Peter can.
A long descent eased riders into the day’s racing – with the parcours pointing downward for most of the first 40km of the stage, before a flat run in to the first climb. With the easy part over, it was undulating for the remainder of the 204km stage, with two categorised climbs to cross before the ride to the finish in Montaldo di Castro. The flat finale was earmarked for the fast men, but a kick at the finish still had the potential to trouble the out and out sprinters.
With the expected bunch sprint finish, the teams of the fast men were more relaxed when the break went up the road early on in the day. With some climbs before the run in to the finish, there was plenty of time to make the catch and lay claim to the stage win – the gap rising to more than three minutes and holding steady for much of the stage. With the efforts of the climbs kicking in however, the break started to fade – the day’s intermediate sprint points already mopped up, it was unlikely the escape was going to last until the end.
With 25km remaining, the gap had shrunk to just 15 seconds, the BORA-hansgrohe riders ramping up the pace in preparation for the finale. Just before the 15km mark, the catch was well and truly made, with the chasing peloton reaching incredible speeds as the sprint teams worked to deliver their rider to the line. Throughout the finale, it was clear that the UCI World Champion, Peter Sagan, was in complete control, his teammates took charge of the peloton and driving the pace to a speed only the Slovak could maintain. Blasting past the remainder of the field, there was no doubting who was going to take the win today. Peter took the win – making it look like his rivals were standing still.
In no doubt as to how he got to the finale in such a strong position for his 91st career win, Peter was quick to say it was all down to his BORA-hansgrohe teammates. “I’d like to thank my teammates for their great job today! We are all very happy with this victory. BORA-hansgrohe is the best team! Today was a windy day and everybody was afraid of the wind in the last 50km, but in tht end, nothing happened. I imagine the peloton reached the finish without legs, but the positive aspect was that in the last 2km there was a bit of crosswind, so a lot of riders lined up, and that made positioning much easier. However, as I said before, this season has just started and I hope this isn’t my last victory.”
Team Coach, Patxi Vila, knew how much the win relied on teamwork and the right tactics. “When you win, it’s obviously a good day. It was a very windy stage the whole day, so there was tension in the bunch, and our guys had to stay together and concentrate. I have to say they all did an excellent job, and we put Cesare Benedetti to work with BMC, Quick-Step Floors and Dimension Data. Last year, in this same stage, we made a tactical mistake and we learned from it so that this year we could get the win. It feels very nice to be back winning and after Strade Bianche, where Peter didn’t feel so well, it is good to be back on track.”
A shorter stage awaits riders on Saturday, but this is by no means an easy day – quite the opposite. The race’s Queen Stage is a comparatively short 187km in length, but sees two tough categorised climbs before the summit finish in Terminillo. This stage will be the one where the GC riders will really look to make their presence felt.

Geraint Thomas gets a brilliant win in Pomarance
Weather at the finishing town of Pomarance at 2:26 PM, local time: Sunny, 17C (63F) with the wind from the West at 10 km/hr (6 mph)
The race: here's the report from stage winner Geraint Thomas' Sky team.
Geraint Thomas sealed a superb late breakaway victory to win stage two of Tirreno-Adriatico in Pomarance. Thomas broke free of a group containing Nairo Quintana (Movistar), Bob Jungels (Quick-Step Floors) and Damiano Caruso (BMC Racing) with just over one kilometre to go and was able to hold off the chasing pack to record his first win of 2017.
An earlier breakaway of six riders had threatened to take the stage away from the GC contenders, but strong work from Team Sky, in particular a bandaged Gianni Moscon, on the front of the peloton brought the race together with 27km to go.
Vasil Kiryienka then played a vital role, stringing out the bunch ahead of the final ascent with an impressive turn at the head of the peloton which allowed Thomas, Salvatore Puccio, Michal Kwiatkowski and Diego Rosa to make their way to the front of an elite group.
Thomas then attacked again to create a smaller break of four, which he left behind with 1.6km to go to round off a superb team performance.
After the disappointment of the opening stage’s team time trial, Thomas was delighted with the team’s response. He said: “Obviously it wasn't a good day yesterday but I was feeling good today and we just wanted to attack the stage. We know every day we have the chance to win stages now so we thought let's just race each day full gas.
“Thanks to Kwiato, he gave me a bit of freedom at the end and said to have a go if I was feeling good.”
The Welshman has not raced since January, having recently been training in South Africa, but was delighted with his performance. He added: “I’ve been feeling good in training. I haven't raced since Tour Down Under, so coming here I was a bit unsure with the race rhythm, sitting in the bunch and fighting for position.
“But obviously winning today I must be going okay! I'm definitely on track and just excited about racing different races and being back in Italy. It's where I started with Barloworld, living in Tuscany, so it's really nice to be racing here again.
"We wanted to be in a good position going into the steep part of the climb. I was feeling pretty good. When Bob (Jungels) attacked initially I followed him. I didn't think the move was going to stick until maybe 150 metres to go. I've been working hard since November it's really nice to get that win."

Stage winner BMC sent me this report.
An impressive display of time trialling prowess on Tirreno-Adriatico Stage 1 saw BMC Racing Team secure a second consecutive victory on the 22.7km out and back course ahead of Quick-Step Floors Cycling and FDJ.
BMC Racing Team were the final team to start, rolling down the ramp as the pre-race favorites having won here one year earlier. But, if the eight-rider team felt the weight of any pre-race expectations, they didn't show it.
Out on the course, BMC Racing Team quickly settled into a seamless rhythm as they looked to better 23'37", the time set by Quick-Step Floors Cycling Team. Fifth-fastest at the complicated turning point, including two left-hand 90-degree turns, BMC Racing Team kicked it up another gear heading into the second half of the course.
In a brilliant show of strength and teamwork, the riders stopped the clock at 23'20" which was more than enough to claim the stage win and put Damiano Caruso into the leader's jersey.
Interview with Race Leader, Damiano Caruso:
Congratulations, Damiano. You're the leader of the Tirreno-Adriatico, how does it feel?
"I feel really good, really excited. This is a dream come true. The team was incredible today. Rohan Dennis and Stefan Küng made a huge difference, and we were setting a really, really fast pace. In the end, it was a surprise for us to finish 17 seconds ahead and faster than last year so, it is incredible. Now I will enjoy wearing this jersey, and from tomorrow we will see what happens."
The team had seen the time set by Quick-Step Floors Cycling Team, did this add any pressure or was it more motivation?
"We weren't really thinking about the time of the other teams. We were all focusing on our jobs. We wanted to win today so we just we went full gas right up until the finish."
How hard was it to keep that pace up over the 22.7km course?
"It was really hard, but I knew how strong these guys are so I was ready to give it everything for them."
Stefan Küng (leader of the Best Young Rider Classification):
"We have a really strong team, and we wanted to go for the win. The most important thing in a team time trial, especially a flat one, is always to keep the speed high and that's what we did today. We had everything that it took to be the best. This is a great victory for the team, and we showed that we don't have to fear anybody."
"I love time trialling, and when you are going that fast, you have the impression that you are flying. When you hear the wheels roaring, it is just great. That's what we train for, to go as fast as possible and when you win in the end, you know you did something right over the winter."
Tejay van Garderen:
"Today feels incredible. It is always good to get a stage victory, especially with this team. As a team we put a lot of emphasis on team time trials, it has really become part of the BMC Racing Team identity. For me, the key to winning a team trial is the confidence, the bravado, and the attitude of the team. It's not cracking under pressure, and we lived up to that mentality today."
"It is always better to start ahead than behind so it's great to get a leg up on the other GC contenders heading into the big stages. The season is still young, and I don't have a lot of racing in my legs, but I feel good on the bike and my the morale is good. We have had a good start here so if we keep this momentum going, I should be in a really good place."
