Stage 7: San Benedetto del Tronto 10.1 km Timetrial
No one could have seen this coming, a 10 km timetrial in San Benedetto del Tronto on the last day of Tirreno. Shocking development.
Big Three-er of the Day: Wout van Aert
I'm assuming Ganna will have to crash so Wout can take the win. We can't have these non-BigThree losers winning day in and day out. Time for some return to normalcy.

Stage 6: Castelraimondo - Lido di Fermo km
After a somewhat mildly exciting weekend of racing we calm down with a bit of sprinting.
Beachbum of the Day: Wout van Aert
Mathieu is tired from his little Sunday ride and Julian isn't the best sprinter. So Wout then.
Stage 5: Castellalto - Castelfidardo 205 km
This profile looks nice and gentle enough, seems to have a few little bumps* in the second half to keep the sprinters on their toes.

Lord Bumpy of the Day: Tadej Pogačar
The Big Three are never winning a race again. Those bums are yesterday's news.
Stage 4: Terni - Prati di Tivo km
Big mountain day in Italy as well as in France.
Tombola Pick of the Day: Wout van Aert

Stage 3: Monticiano - Gualdo Tadino 219 km
This is the long MSR prep day of this year's edition, still pretty mild. Another mild uphill grind in the finale.
Sealord of the Day: Mathieu van der Poel
Miss the win, miss the win , WIN. Miss the win, miss the win , WIN. Let's guess this is his pattern this year.
Stage 2: Camaiore - Chiusdino 202 km
A little gentle climb to the finish to add some spice.
Dino chose: Wout van Aert
This stage pretty much has a huge "Welcome back Peter Sagan!"-sign hanging over it. Wout doesn't give a shit about sappy nonsense like that.
Stage 1: Lido di Camaiore - Lido di Camaiore 156 km
The biggest of the World Tour clashes, now that the ATOC has gone the way of the dodo, starts today. Tirreno eases into it softly with a sprint stage that isn't even absurdly long for once. Last 5 kms are dead straight. This is as uncomplicated as it gets.
Beachbum of the Day: Tim Merlier
Slow bums like Ewan, Gaviria, Sagan and Viviani will be easy prey to the Alpecin juggernaut.
