The 40th edition of Tirreno-Adriatico, a one-week stage race preceding Milano-Sanremo, was presented in San Benedetto del Tronto in Italy on Friday. Taking place from March 9-15, the competition was proudly called "the World's of spring stages", the ideal prelude to Milano-Sanremo (March 19) for some riders.
Taking part will be the twenty ProTeams, as well as Italian squads Acqua & Sapone-Adria Mobil, Ceramiche Panaria-Navigare and Naturino-Sapore Di Mare.
