Tirreno-Adriatico 2019: la startlist e i campioni al via

Tanti campioni hanno scritto il proprio nome nell’albo d’oro della Corsa dei Due Mari: da Roger De Vlaeminck (che con sei successi detiene il record di vittorie) a Francesco Moser, da Fabian Cancellara a Paolo Bettini, fino ai campionissimi degli ultimi anni Cadel Evans, Vincenzo Nibali, Alberto Contador, Nairo Quintana e Greg Van Avermaet. Chi si aggiudicherà la Tirreno-Adriatico 2019, gara WorldTour organizzata da Rcs Sport, in programma dal 13 al 19 marzo?

Al via troviamo le diciotto squadre WorldTour e cinque wild card invitate: le italiane Bardiani-Csf e Neri-Selle Italia, la francese Cofidis, la russa Gazprom-RusVelo e l’israeliana Cycling Academy. Il percorso proposto in questa 54^ edizione non propone grandi salite, per questo sono in tanti, cacciatori di Classiche in primis, a poter sperare di poter succedere nell’albo d’oro al polacco Michal Kwiatkowski, vincitore dodici mesi fa.

L’attenzione è tutta per tre stelle delle grandi corse a tappe come Vincenzo Nibali (Bahrain – Merida), Tom Dumoulin (Team Sunweb) e Geraint Thomas (Team Sky), ma non vanno dimenticati i vari Thibaut Pinot (Groupama – FDJ), Adam Yates (Mitchelton – Scott), Primoz Roglic (Team Jumbo – Visma) e Mikel Landa (Movistar).

Poi coloro in grado di puntare alle singole tappe e al successo finale: Peter Sagan (Bora – Hansgrohe), Greg Van Avermaet (CCC Team), Julian Alaphilippe (Deceuninck – Quick Step) recente trionfatore alle Strade Bianche, Tim Wellens e Tiesj Benoot (Lotto Soudal) e Rohan Dennis (Bahrain – Merida). Per quanto concerne le volate, occhio a Elia Viviani (Deceuninck – Quick Step), Fernando Gaviria (UAE Team Emirates), Giacomo Nizzolo (Dimension Data) e Nacer Bouhanni (Cofidis).
