Second mountain stage for him Tirreno – Adriatico 2020. After today’s stage, the riders will have to tackle the 202 kilometers from Norcia to Sarnano-Sassotetto characterized by numerous climbs and three GPM, for the queen stage of this edition of the Corsa dei Due Mari.

Fifth stage route Tyrrhenian – Adriatic 2020
The stage begins immediately uphill after the start of Norcia with the Forca di Ancarano, not classified as GPM, which is followed by the ascent to the Sanctuary of Macereto preceded by the forehead of Santa Margherita (5.4 km at 7%) after 38 kilometers of running. The central part of the stage is characterized by a sequence of ascents and descents that leaves no respite for the runners. After the flying finish line of Colmurano, located at kilometer 100, the group will face numerous short climbs including the GPM of San Ginesio (6.3 km at 4.7%), Gualdo and Penna San Giovanni. Once in Sarnano, after a brief descent from Rustici, you face the final ascent to Sassotetto: climb with a rather expensive slope between 6 and 7% with some peaks that reach 13% and consisting of long straights interspersed with sharp curves.

Favorites Fifth Stage Tirreno – Adriatico 2020
The first two wavy fractions were used to reveal the cards, now the big favorites can no longer hide. Simon Yates (Mitchelton-Scott) is the one that impresses the most, showing great explosiveness, which on the ascent to the Sassottetto, perfect for its characteristics, will allow you to make a vacuum. In addition, the British will be able to count on the contribution of Jack Haig and today’s winner Lucas hamilton, who in turn are in the top 10 overall and have no intention of leaving (especially the ’96 class who will try to defend the white jersey).
It has also shown great freshness in recent days Geraint thomas (Ineos Grenadiers), who in a few weeks managed to free himself from the evanescent version of himself that he had brought to the Giro del Dauphiné and with a stage success (and why not also in general) could give himself the right injection of confidence in view of the Giro d’Italia.
An injection of confidence that the two losers of today’s stage would also need, Jakob fuglsang (Astana) e Vincenzo Nibali (Trek-Segafredo), but they don’t seem to have the leg to make a difference and if Trek doesn’t have many cards to play besides the Sicilian, if not a Gianluca Brambilla looked pretty bright today, the Kazakh team has three of their ranks Alexander Vlasov, one of the fittest men in the post-lockout period and eager for his first World Tour success after the top two 5 in recent days.
Partner work is also possible for Bora-Hansgrohe with Rafal Majka, who is the undisputed captain, and Patrick Konrad, which is instead the second line that can attack if necessary. A similar argument can also be made in Deceuninck-QuickStep, where Fausto Masnada you have already fully demonstrated the trust that has been placed in you and will be able to make use of the work of a finally found James knox, also currently in the top 10. Bergamo has been the best Italian so far and aspires to confirm himself, also seeking a partial affirmation after today’s second place.
Impossible not to mention the general’s leader Michael Woods (EF), who showed an extraordinary state of form, just six months after the femur rupture and so far has not shown any signs of failure in the ascent. Therefore, it is impossible not to consider him among the favorites, although perhaps it is also enough to manage and maintain the blue jersey at the end of the stage.
Another team that has done very well so far is here Sunweb, what is with Sam oomen that above all with a brilliant so far Wilco Keldermann could put an important stamp on the race of the two seas, after the misfortunes of Michael Matthews.
A ranged attack with runners like Giovanni visconti (Vini-Zabù), Sergio Henao me Rui Costa (UAE Team Emirates), Hermann Pernsteiner (Bahrain-McLaren), Davide villela (Movistar), Carl Frederik Hagen (Lotto Soudal) e Denis Nekrasov(Gazprom-Rusvelo) and Louis meintjes, even if some, especially the Portuguese and the South African, perhaps are still too close in qualifying for the group to let go and they will have to try to stay in the group and then attack on the last climb, perhaps exploiting an excessive mark of the big names.
There are runners suitable for the stage but who could be held back by herd tasks Tanel kangert me Ruben Warrior (EF), Jay hindley (Cobweb) e Tao Geoghegan Hart (Grenadiers of Ineos).

Main Pitfalls Fifth Stage Tirreno – Adriatico 2020
The entire stage has an extremely rugged elevation profile without a moment of respite and flat all the way. Certainly, the decisive moment, not only for the stage victory but also for the final success of this edition of the Corsa dei Due Mari, could be the final climb to Sassotetto (11.8 km at 7% with peaks up to 13% ). . A climb that, despite the fairly constant unevenness, could hurt the runners’ legs even more after a day characterized by continuous ups and downs.
