Tirreno-Adriatico 2021, la startlist e i campioni al via

Sarà una Tirreno-Adriatico 2021 dai grandissimi noi, quella che si appresta a cominciare il 10 marzo e terminare sei giorni dopo. Ampia e di assoluto valore la partecipazione nella corsa WorldTour organizzata da Rcs Sport, di gran lunga superiore alla contemporanea Parigi-Nizza.

A prendere il via alla Corsa dei due Mari saranno le 19 WorldTour ammesse di diritto, a cui si aggiungono le Professional Alpecin-Fenix (Belgio); Bardiani-Csf, Eolo-Kometa (Italia); Arkea-Samsic (Francia); Gazprom-RusVelo (Russia).

Si parlava di grandi nomi. Ebbene, ecco i tanti pretendenti alla classifica generale: Tadej Pogacar (UAE Emirates), Jakub Fuglsang (Astana), Egan Bernal e Geraint Thomas (Ineos), Simon Yates (BikeExchange), Nairo Quintana (Arkea-Samsic), Thibaut Pinot (Groupama-FDJ), Michael Woods (Israel Start Up Nation), Romain Bardet (Dsm), Mikel Landa (Bahrain), Ilnur Zakarin (Gazprom-RusVelo), Domenico Pozzovivo (Qhubeka-Assos), Vincenzo Nibali e Giulio Ciccone (Trek-Segafredo).

Per quanto riguarda le frazioni intermedie, basta citare quattro nomi: Mathieu Van Der Poel (Alpecin-Fenix), Wout Van Aert (Jumbo-Visma), Julian Alaphilippe (Deceuninck-Quick Step) e Filippo Ganna (Ineos). Senza dimenticare Greg Van Avermaet (Ag2R Citroen), Davide Formolo (UAE Emirates), Alberto Bettiol (EF Nippo), il rientrante Peter Sagan (Bora-Hansgrohe).

Infine i velocisti, tra cui Caleb Ewan (Lotto Soudal), Fernando Gaviria (UAE Emirates), Elia Viviani (Cofidis), Sonny Colbrelli (Bahrain), e il fresco vincitore della Het Nieuwsblad Davide Ballerini (Deceuninck-Quick Step), che velocista puro non è e che potrebbe giocarsela anche su altri scenari.

Ecco la startlist definitiva.
