The third stage of Tirreno – Adriatico 2020 presents a classic path. In fact, the 217 kilometers planned from Follonica to Saturnia are characterized by continuous ups and downs that should make this fraction uncertain and combated. The double ascent of Muro di Poggio Murella, with slopes of up to 21%, and the last kilometer that climbs before the finish line, make this fraction an ideal target for classic cyclists who will thus have the opportunity to wear the leader’s jersey before the two mountain stages planned for the next two days.
Third stage of the 2020 Tyrrhenian – Adriatic route
The group will restart from Follonica to face the 217 kilometers of this district, which meanders entirely in the province of Grosseto, characterized by continuous ups and downs, especially after the passage of Capalbio, where the flying finish line is established after 91 km of race. From here it will deviate towards the interior where the runners will face the double rise of the Poggio Murella Wall (3.4 km at 7% but with peaks that reach 21%), a climb that could make a good selection within the group. After the second step at the top of the GPM there will only be 9 kilometers to go to reach the goal in Saturnia, which seems definitely suitable for classic racers. In fact, the last kilometers, after a first downhill section, go back to the finish line, with the last kilometer having slopes of around 6-7%.

Favorites Third Stage Tirreno – Adriatico 2020
With the third stage come the first difficulties that are ready to break the balance of the group. The second part is all up and down and also the final towards Saturnia will be a bit uphill, to remind one of a great classic. And then it seems to be the perfect springboard for Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Fenix), who only expects the opportunity to show off and put pressure on the men in the classification. too Michael Matthews (Sunweb), who basically hid for the first two sprints, is waiting for the right opportunity to achieve another important result, and this one seems to be the right one. Not to be too underestimated Florian Senechal, a rider who is not among the most “famous” of the Deceuninck – Quick Step but who adapts perfectly to a finish of this type.
Among the men who seek success on stage Michael Woods (EF) is among the most dangerous, although this year it has not yet achieved significant results. Jakob fuglsang instead he should definitely be in better shape and ready to fight to put hay on the farm for the overall ranking. The winner of Il Lombardia will have to compete, if not for the success of the stage at least head to head, with Geraint thomas (INEOS Grenadiers) e Vincenzo Nibali (Trek-Segafredo) who must necessarily demonstrate more steps forward in their fitness.
As for the men of experience, in addition to these last four names, also Rui Costa (UAE Team Emirates) e Giovanni visconti (Vini Zabù-KTM) will do everything possible to show off, without worrying about having to control the situation in terms of the general classification. It doesn’t start with the underdog Simon Yates (Mitchelton-Scott), who loves the most challenging climbs, while they will have to push themselves beyond their limits. Davide ballerini (Deceuninck – Quick Step), Magnus Cort Nielsen (EF), Niki Terpstra (Total direct energy) e Mike teunissen (Jumbo-Visma) which, on the contrary, feel more comfortable in flatter situations. Among the possible surprises, we can mention Dylan teuns (Bahrain-McLaren), potentially very dangerous on these tracks.

Great Pitfalls Third Stage Tirreno – Adriatico 2020
The key moment of the stage will be the double step in the GPM of Poggio Murella Wall. Certainly the second climb, at the end of which there will only be 9 kilometers to go to the finish line, will be the ideal point for those who want to launch the decisive attack to conquer this stage. Be careful, however, that the obstacles have not ended, in fact, the unevenness of around 6-7% of the last kilometer could harm those who will run out of energy at the end of this fraction that promises to be spectacular.
