THe 51st edition of the Tirreno–Adriatico cycling stage race was held from 9 to 15 March 2016. It was the third event of the 2016 UCI World Tour.[1] Due to the cancellation of stage 5, the race was run over six stages, covering a total distance of 850.8 km (529 mi).[2][N 1]
Route
The route for the 2016 Tirreno–Adriatico was announced in December 2015 in Camaiore, where the race starts.[3] The first stage is a 22.7-kilometre (14.1 mi) team time trial on the coast. The second – and first road stage – finishes on a short climb, suiting classics riders. The third and fourth stages have flat finishes, favouring sprinters. The fifth stage is the queen stage of the race: it features five categorised climbs, finishing with the 13-kilometre (8.1 mi) ascent of Monte San Vicino. The sixth stage again suits sprinters. The race finishes in San Benedetto del Tronto for the fiftieth consecutive year with a 10.1-kilometre (6.3 mi) individual time trial to decide the final standings.[3]
