The Tirreno-Adriatico EOLO in Italy, scheduled from 7-14 September, will be a special edition not only because of when it is scheduled on the calendar, but also because it will be raced over eight stages – instead of the usual seven.
Mauro Vegni, RCS Sport Cycling Director, said “We want to say thank you to all the administrations – in the regions, provinces and municipalities – that have always supported this international event.
“Through the images distributed all over the world we will once again showcase – both from a landscape, as well as a cultural point of view – all the territories crossed by the race. Together we will give a new sign of restarting the country, always respecting safety, because cycling is a formidable vehicle for launching these restarting messages.”
Stefano Allocchio, Race Director of RCS Sport, who designed the 2020 Tirreno-Adriatico EOLO route, said “Thanks to the eight stages we have been able to make the race a bit harder and to balance the stages for sprinters, for finisseurs and for climbers in addition to the usual final ITT.
“Despite the change of date, we have found in local administrations the maximum availability that will allow us to organize a top quality Tirreno-Adriatico. We will have almost all the riders who will then participate in the Giro d’Italia in October; and we are convinced that, as in recent years, it will be a ‘Race of the Two Seas’ of the highest level.”
