Watch Tirreno-Adriatico from March 10-16 to see the men’s WorldTour peloton in action at the challenging week-long stage race across Italy, with all the details here on live streams and TV channels wherever you are in the world.
The race marks the continuation of the WorldTour season as a top-class peloton of men's riders head to Italy to take on seven days of racing from coast to coast including an opening time trial and a stage 6 summit finish.
The 2025 edition of Tirreno-Adriatico will be headlined by a swathe of top GC contenders, even if reigning champion Jonas Vingegaard isn't competing. Look to UAE Team Emirates-XRG for the big favourites with Adam Yates and Juan Ayuso competing.
Elsewhere, Tom Pidcock (Q36.5), Mikel Landa (Soudal-QuickStep), Richard Carapaz (EF Education-EasyPost), David Gaudu (Groupama-FDJ), Giulio Ciccone (Lidl-Trek), and the Bahrain Victorious pairing of Antonio Tiberi and Pello Bilbao will be racing.
There's a strong field of Classics riders and sprinters, too, with Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) and Biniam Girmay (Intermarché-Wanty) joined on the start line by Marc Hirschi (Tudor), Olav Kooij (Visma-Lease A Bike), Maxim Van Gils (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe), Jonathan Milan (Lidl-Trek), Magnus Cort (Uno-X Mobility), and Dylan Groenewegen (Jayco-AlUla).
The peloton will take on seven days of racing across Italy, beginning with the opening 11.5km time trial in Lido di Camaiore and a sprint stage in Follonica. A challenging HC-rated 18.4km climb finish in Colfiorito follows on stage 3 for the GC contenders to make their mark. Stage 4 in Trasacco looks set for another sprint showdown, while stage 5 to Pergola brings two late hills in a race for the puncheurs. Stage 6 to Frontignano brings a 7.6km, 7.9% summit finish before the sprinter's finale in San Benedetto del Tronto on stage 7.

How to watch Tirreno-Adriatico from anywhere
If you're outside your usual country when Tirreno-Adriatico is on, you might think you can’t watch the race due to the geo-restrictions most streaming platforms impose. But a VPN is a simple and safe way around this.
A Virtual Private Network is a piece of software that sets your IP address to make your device appear to be in any country in the world. Provided it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, you can use a VPN to unblock your usual streaming services from anywhere in the world. What's more, it helps with playback speeds and is a huge boost for your general internet security.
There are loads of great VPN options out there, but our colleagues at TechRadar say NordVPN is the best overall for its streaming capabilities, security features, and price.
