From the breakaway, Mads Wurtz Schmidt (Israel Start-Up Nation) wins Stage 6. Wurtz Schmidt after his victory: "I knew it was possible to arrive in the breakaway when we started the last lap, at around 45 km, and we had a 4-minute advantage over the group. It’s always hard to arrive in a breakaway, but our group was working well together. I felt super strong and in the finale I felt confident that I could beat them in a sprint."

- Jordi Meeus (Bora-Hansgrohe) following Stage 2: "We had an easy start to the stage before we hit the hillier part of the course. I honestly didn't feel super here and before the finale we found ourselves a bit too far back. So the positioning wasn't at all optimal. That's why I wasn't able to really launch my sprint. It's a shame but nonetheless we're heading into the next stages with confidence."

- Enrico Gasparotto, Bora-Hansgrohe Sports Director, after Stage 2: "Our goal was to contest the sprint finale with Jordi. Although we have several GC riders here and we don't have a real lead-out for him. He didn't have significant support in the sprint because of that and just had to surf different wheels. Our other goal today was to have all our GC riders arrive at the finish safely, so we're glad we were able to do that."

Alberto Dainese (ITA)

Chris Hamilton (AUS)

Florian Stork (GER)

- Matt Winston, Team DSM coach: "We're looking forward to continue our Italian block of racing at Tirreno-Adriatico. The race provides something for everyone with time trials, days for the sprinters and stages in the hills, some of which include typically hard Tirreno-Adriatico 'muros'. We will focus on the sprint days with Alberto as our finisher there, while in the climbing stages we will look to protect Romain. We have a team that has come out of their first races of the season in good condition and we're looking forward to being part of some exciting racing throughout the week."

- Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl roster for the 2022 Tirreno-Adriatico:

Julian Alaphilippe (FRA)
Kasper Asgreen (DEN)
Davide Ballerini (ITA)
Mark Cavendish (GBR)
Josef Cerny (CZE)
Remco Evenepoel (BEL)
Mikkel Honoré (DEN)

- Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl sports director Davide Bramati: "It’s a nice but hard parcours, which gives chances to all types of riders. For the sprints we have Mark, a multiple stage winner here, but also Julian and Remco can bring some good results next week. Despite the presence of the time trial on the opening day, the big gaps between the general classification guys should come on the Carpegna, which is a tough climb that we know from Il Giro. Coming into the race, we are confident, have a lot of motivation and we are ready to take it one day at a time and see how things go."

- Jan Valach, Bora-Hansgrohe Sports Director: "It was a classic, tough, Tirreno-Adriatico stage, starting with a flat part 100km long and then another very hard 100km. On the final 23km-long circuit that we lapped four times, we went over 16 steep climbs. We knew the GC would be decided there, so we were ready to support Matteo Fabbro and make sure he was in a good position. On all laps, every rider did a great job, was with him as much as possible and he was in the leading group with all the GC riders. Unfortunately, Patrick, who was there to help Matteo in the final laps, crashed but went back on his bike on his own, so there doesn't seem to be any serious issue there. Matteo was strong, fought until the end, took 10th on the line and moved to 5th overall."

- Matteo Fabbro (Bora-Hansgrohe) after Stage 5: "We were expecting a hard stage but today was a brutal day. More than 200km long, going over the steep Castelfidardo climb five times, fast rhythm from the start. On top of that, there were strong winds, it was very cold and the heavy rain made the roads tricky and slippery. The guys did an excellent job in protecting Patrick and me. We were in the front when it mattered and were able to stay with the GC leaders when the attacks and splits happened. Unfortunately, Patrick crashed in a roundabout, so I had to give all I had to finish in a good position and try and possibly move up in the GC. It was a gruelling final lap but I'm happy with what we achieved."

- Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Fenix) won Stage 5. Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) remains overall leader.

- Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) following his Stage 4 victory: "I tried to attack to stay alone and be able to set my pace. When I saw that the advantage over my opponents was good, I pushed really hard to try and keep the gap, also because I knew Yates was coming close. I gave it my all and managed to win. As far as the general classification is concerned, every second advantage is precious, also because tomorrow a very difficult stage awaits us and, also because of the final time trial, the fight for the victory will be balanced."

- Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) won Stage 4 and took the lead in the general classification.

- Patrick Konrad (Bora-Hansgrohe) following Stage 3: "It was a really hectic, stressful, and long day but the team rode very well. I tried to take my chances at a result but the crash in the finale caused a bit of chaos. Still, I finished within the first group, didn't lose time, so my focus will now turn fully on tomorrow, the mountain stage.

- More from Bora-Hansgrohe's Valach: "We worked well and brought our two GC riders, Patrick Konrad and Matteo Fabbro, safely to the bottom of the final uphill section to the finish line.  We experienced a bit of bad luck in the closing 3.5 kilometres when Peter Sagan, Daniel Oss and Giovanni Aleotti were caught in quite a big pileup. They are fine but we'll have to see how this affects Giovanni in terms of time lost."

- Jan Valach, Bora-Hansgrohe Sports Director, after Stage 3: "We had in our plans to try to have riders in today's break but in the end they didn't make it, so a 5-man group was formed quite early. The peloton was tense throughout the stage because of the variable conditions. It was cold, there were parts with wind, others without, open sections where echelons could be produced, then some drizzle, so there was nervousness and we had to stay alert all day."

- Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Fenix) won Stage 3. Wout Van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) retained the overall race lead.

- With his victory, Alaphilippe became the 5th rider on Deceuninck-Quickstep to get a win so far this season, according to the team.

- João Almeida (Deceuninck-Quickstep): "In the final part of the stage there were many attacks and we decided to join in, knowing it would put the team in a better position for the last climb. With two kilometers to go I dropped the others, but I knew my chances were slim, with only a few seconds separating me from the bunch. At 300 meters to go, the peloton was closing in at a different speed, so it was over for me. I am glad Julian took the victory, because if he wouldn’t have attacked at the right moment, then another rider would have won. It was a perfect day for us and this gives us more confidence for the next stages."

- More from Julian Alaphilippe: "I couldn’t have done it without them, so a big thanks goes to the guys. Kasper and Zdenek took care of me on the climb, while João’s attack made it easier for us in the final. The day was a hard one, but the team did an incredible job and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome, especially as it came in the same country where I won this beautiful jersey."

- Julian Alaphilippe (Deceuninck-Quickstep) after his Stage 2 victory: "We were in a perfect position with João at the front, which allowed me to stay focused on keeping my position. When it became clear he would get caught after Thomas’ forcing, I went and gave everything, full gas until the line. This first victory of the season is a relief for me. It’s never easy to win in the rainbow jersey and to do it at this race feels amazing."

- Julian Alaphilippe (Deceuninck-Quickstep) won Stage 2. Wout Van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) remains overall leader.

- Wout Van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) following his Stage 1 victory: "I am very happy that my sprinters legs are back. A nice bonus are the bonification seconds. That gives me a few extra seconds ahead of a lot of guys. I want to achieve the highest possible result in the general classification. Both in Strade Bianche and today we rode as a strong team. The guys dropped me off well in the sprint. It makes me proud that I was able to finish the team’s work. We now maneuver ourselves into a great starting position for the rest of the week. We are riding with high morale and have a lot of confidence for what is to follow in the coming days."

- Wout Van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) won Stage 1 and is first leader in the general classification.

- Matt Winston, Team DSM coach: "We head to Italy with a strong and motivated team, ready for a hard week of intense racing over Tirreno-Adriatico’s testing parcours where there are stages that suit different types of riders. We’ll take a day-by-day approach, aiming for day success and good stage results. Whether that be in the sprint finishes, where we’ll work to set up Max for those fast finales, or in the hillier and more mountainous terrain with our group of punchers and climbers. We've shown some good teamwork in our opening races of the year and we're looking to continue that here."

We come to the start of Tirreno-Adriatico with a team comprising many riders who know this race, a solid team that is capable of fighting on all fronts and has the desire to rack up more good results. The race has a bit of everything for everyone and we hope to make an impact on the stages and display the same Wolfpack spirit that has helped us amass eight victories so far since the start of the season."

- Race organizer RCS describes the just-revealed 2021 route for Tirreno-Adriatico here.

- Vincenzo Nibali had this to say after the route for the 2021 Tirreno-Adriatico was unveiled: "The Tirreno-Adriatico is an unmissable event in the early stages of my racing calendar, it’s an important test of form that I don’t think I could do without. It’s a race where I have had a lot of joy, especially in 2012 and 2013, but it also always gives me a real boost for the rest of the season. I also like the unique setting in central Italy, an area I know well. There’s Tuscany, where I found my form as a young rider, Le Marche, a spectacular region that I’ve grown to love in recent years, and let’s not forget the regions of Umbria, Abruzzo or Lazio. Even in a year like this, I am overjoyed to be riding the race."

- Simon Yates (Mitchelton-Scott) won the 2020 Tirreno-Adriatico.

- The 2021 Tirreno-Adriatico is being held March 10-16.

- Matteo Fabbro (Bora-Hansgrohe) following Stage 7: "Today was a very hard stage. We tried to get into the breakaway and I managed to be part of a larger group of escapees. I attacked out of the remaining leading group because I knew the rest of the course would be hard. Although I got away and rode solo for quite some time, in the end with only 300m to go, two riders passed me and I ended up having to settle for third place. Of course, I’m disappointed after the huge effort that I put in today, but nevertheless it gave me confidence that I can make it to the end the next time I try."

- André Schulze, Bora-Hansgrohe Sports Director, after Stage 7: "We are satisfied with how things went today. We wanted to try to get into a large group, and it worked out well with Matteo. Patrick did a great job yet again and put in a really strong effort. With Rafal, we wanted him to arrive at the finish in the same time as the other general classification riders, that was our goal on today's stage. So, with Matteo’s third place, we more than fulfilled this goal. He rode an extremely strong race and for a long time it looked like he was riding for the win. It would have been a great surprise if he had made it, and so we have to be satisfied with third place. But all in all, it was an exceptionally strong race from Matteo and the rest of the team."

- Pascal Ackermann (Bora-Hansgrohe) after Stage 6: "Unfortunately I didn’t have my usual lead out today and was a bit too far behind. I tried several times to find a gap, but it was difficult and I had to brake quite a lot in the lead-up to the finale. But you can't always win, and so I’m satisfied with second place today. Now we’ll have to look ahead to the last two stages and see what we can still achieve here."

- Jens Zemke, Bora-Hansgrohe Sports Director: "Of course we would have liked to win today, and we knew that with Pascal we had the fastest sprinter in the peloton. But you can’t always have the best of both worlds, and we currently have Rafal in second place in the general classification and Pascal trying to take the win in the sprints, but we only have six riders in attendance. Nevertheless, the team rode very well and we controlled the race right from the beginning and didn't allow the escapees to get away too far. In the end, Pascal finished second, which is still a good result, with him only narrowly missing his third stage win."

- Race leader Simon Yates (Mitchelton-Scott) after Stage 6: "There was a headwind down the home straight, so the sprint was quite messy, but the day in general was good for us. The breakaway went fairly easy, there wasn’t too much fight to get into it and the sprint teams took up the chase pretty much straight away so for us it was a nice day; which was good because I think tomorrow will be very hard and difficult to control. I’m sure there will be some action and some guys will try to take some time, but we will try to deal with it as best we can. We have a strong team here so I hope to defend the jersey well."

- Tim Merlier (Alpecin-Fenix) won Stage 6. Simon Yates (Mitchelton-Scott) remains leader on G.C.

- Rafał Majka (Bora-Hansgrohe) after Stage 5: "It was a difficult stage, but the course suited me and I think I rode a good race. I was able to save a lot of energy during the race and in the end I still had good legs. On the final climb I rode in the first group and was able to keep up with Woods and Yates at first. But when Yates made his decisive attack I had to let him go. I tried together with Thomas to catch up to him, but we didn't manage it. In the end I took 3rd place, which is not bad at all."

- Jens Zemke, Bora-Hansgrohe Sports Director following Stage 5: "Chapeau to the entire team, which supported Rafa very well. The only downside is that we were unable to take the jersey, with Yates now leading overall by 16 seconds. Rafa put in a very good performance today, especially to ride Woods out of the jersey. We remain second in the general classification and also continue to hold the points jersey, so until now it has been a successful race for us."

- Simon Yates (Mitchelton-Scott) following his Stage 5 victory: "It was a really good day, a lot of good work from the team and I knew I had good legs already from yesterday. Today was a big opportunity to take the jersey and to take some time, with the time trial on the last day I need a good buffer. It was already a fast pace first by EF Pro Cycling and then by Astana Pro Cycling. Majka attacked to really start the show, I saw an opportunity and really took it. I saw straight away that I had a gap so just went full gas. I am very wary because I know it will be seconds that this race is won by so I just have to try to do my best now in the next stages."

- Simon Yates (Mitchelton-Scott) won Stage 5 and is new race leader.

- Rafał Majka (Bora-Hansgrohe) after Stage 4: "We rode in the peloton in an energy-saving way for much of the day, and in the end I was able to follow the first attacks. But when Masnada and Hamilton went, I couldn't quite keep up, yet still managed to finish 8th and kept my second place in the overall standings. This is a good starting position for the next few days, where I’ll concentrate on the hard mountain stages that are coming up, and will try to do something there."

- André Schulze, Bora-Hansgrohe Sports Director following Stage 4: "We wanted to stay in time with the other GC riders today and defend the placings that we took yesterday. We had hoped that Patrick would still be in the mix in the finale, but unfortunately that didn’t quite work out for him. Once again, Rafal put in a very strong performance and we have to be satisfied with that. Tomorrow with the mountain finish, we will try to continue riding as we have been so far."

- Lucas Hamilton (Mitchelton-Scott) won Stage 4. Michael Woods (EF Pro Cycling) remains overall leader.

- Race leader Pascal Ackermann (Bora-Hansgrohe) won Stage 2.

- André Schulze, Bora-Hansgrohe Sports Director after Stage 3: "We’re very pleased with today’s result. The stage wasn’t easy, and the field rode a constantly high tempo, with the heat also making the race that much more difficult. We wanted to try something in the finale, and the guys executed our plan extremely well. They showed superb teamwork throughout the stage, and that’s something they can be very proud of. Woods was stronger today, but we can definitely be very satisfied with Rafal’s second position and Patrick’s fourth place."

- Rafał Majka (Bora-Hansgrohe) following Stage 3: "I wanted to win for the team today, but there was quite a tough climb that we had to take on twice, so it wasn’t going to be easy. In the critical moment, I was able to ride a good tempo and then make the first group on the road, and then when Woods attacked, I was able to follow. He was simply that extra bit quicker in the end today, but we have a few more difficult climbing stages ahead of us, so we’ll still have some more chances here. My form is good and I think that we’ll be able to do something over the next few days."

- Michael Woods (EF Pro Cycling) won Stage 3 and is new race leader.

- Jens Zemke, Bora-Hansgrohe Sports Director: "In comparison to yesterday's stage, where we were a bit lucky, today actually went exactly as we had envisaged. The guys implemented our plan very well. Maciej controlled the race almost all on his own. At the beginning, there was a 4-man leading group, with there being only three left out front a short time later, until the last escapee was caught again. In the finale, the guys performed excellently, the lead-out did a superb job and Pascal had really good legs again. It was a very nice win for us, and the result of strong teamwork."

- Race leader Pascal Ackermann (Bora-Hansgrohe) after winning Stage 2, his second consecutive stage victory: "The team did so well today, and the finale was a very exciting one. I was able to completely trust my lead-out, and it was a really close sprint. In fact, it couldn't have been any closer, otherwise I would have missed out on the win. I found myself in the wind a bit too early, but I couldn't go back and at that point I had no choice and just went for it. I had good legs and so managed to cross the line first. Now I’m looking forward to Saturday, because I might have another chance there. Tomorrow's stage will be more difficult, and perhaps I’ll take it a bit slower and easier to recover from the two sprint stages."

- Jens Zemke, Sports Director (Bora-Hansgrohe): "This victory came at exactly the right time and is very important for us. For Pascal, it is a huge success to win the first stage of a race like Tirreno - Adriatico and to also take the leader's jersey. This victory is one of his biggest successes so far and will certainly give him a lot of self-confidence in a season that has been shortened, and where there are fewer chances for riders to take wins like this. The guys did a very good job to prepare him for the sprint and we can be exceedingly happy with this performance."

- Pascal Ackermann (Bora-Hansgrohe) following his Stage 1 victory: "It was an incredible race today, as we didn't know what it would really be like. In the lead-up to this, I only had one day on the bike, because I was ill before, and so didn't know what my form would be like. But the team did a great job and they trusted me. It was a hard and long sprint, because I came from further back. But I had good speed in the end and I was able to find a gap at the right time and make it across the line first. I am very happy and really want to thank my teammates. I think my form is good and we executed our plan perfectly today. Now the pressure is gone and we can see what’s possible on the next few stages, and hopefully we can take yet another win on a sprint stage. But we also have strong GC riders here, with Konrad and Majka, and so we’re also hoping to perform well there too."

- Pascal Ackermann (Bora-Hansgrohe) won Stage 1 and is first leader in the general classification.

- Víctor de la Parte (CCC Team): "Tirreno-Adriatico is always a nice race and has stages that suit every kind of rider. It’s been a strange year for everyone and right now the pace is really fast at every race so, I think it will be exactly the same here and it will make Tirreno-Adriatico even more difficult. However, I am definitely looking forward to the race ahead, it will be a good test ahead of the Giro d’Italia and I hope that I can be at the front and part of the action on the summit finish."

- Joey Rosskopf (CCC Team): "After a good race at Tour Poitou-Charentes en Nouvelle-Aquitaine, I came down with a little head cold, which has tempered my excitement to jump right back into racing a little but, nevertheless, I love racing in Italy, and Tirreno-Adriatico is no exception. Personally, I’m expecting a difficult start to the race due to the fact that I’ve not done much training at home over the past week, but I hope to ride into my race rhythm again ahead of the time trial and get some good performances out of myself to help the team wherever possible."

- CCC Team lineup for the 2020 Tirreno-Adriatico:

Will Barta (USA)
Victor de la Parte (ESP)
Pavel Kochetkov (RUS)
Joey Rosskopf (USA)
Szymon Sajnok (POL)
Nathan Van Hooydonck (BEL)
Georg Zimmermann (GER)
Sports Directors: Valerio Piva (ITA), Gabriele Missaglia (ITA)

- CCC Team Sports Director Valerio Piva: "Our first objective for this race will be to target stage wins, with all of the guys having the freedom to continue to race aggressively like we have seen the team do since the restart of the season. We don’t have a race favorite or an individual team leader so I would like to see everybody jumping in the moves and trying to race for some good results. I think we can pinpoint the time trial on the final stage as one that we can focus on with Joey Rosskopf, who has a proven track record of strong time trial performances at WorldTour races and then for the mountaintop finish, we will look to support Víctor de la Parte and see how the General Classification develops from there."

There are some pure sprints, more difficult reduced sprints, a mountain-top finish and a time trial; so there are lots of opportunities throughout the race. Our main goal will be to get a good GC result with Wilco, so the mountain top finish and individual time trial will be very important. Alberto will be our option for the pure flat sprints and he's very motivated to ride on his home roads. Michael has shown that he's in great form just now with his recent win at the Bretagne Classic and he'll be our protected rider for those more rolling, difficult finishes. Chris, Jai, Martijn and Sam will all arrive at the race from our altitude camp in Kühtai, and will ride in support of the other guys, aiming to set them up as best as possible for the finish on each stage of the race."

- Results: Alaphilippe wins bunch sprint on stage 6. (Cyclingnews) - Deceuninck-Quickstep train dominates penultimate finale.

- Peter Sagan (Bora-hansgrohe) following Stage 6: "The guys did a very good job today in preparing everything for the sprint. They pulled in the front, controlled the breakaway and rode hard in the finale to lead me out. Unfortunately, I still need more time to get back to my best form. I did the best I could but it wasn't enough to win."

- Jan Valach, Sports Director, Bora-Hansgrohe: "Long and hard stage, up and down for the most part but still with a fast sprint finish. Our goal was to aim at stage victory with Peter. We pulled in the front of the peloton and controlled the 7-man break. Rafał Majka did a very good job in that, put a strong effort and we managed to close the gap and catch the break in the final 3km. Then, Oscar Gatto and Daniel Oss took over and did a good lead-out but, unfortunately, Peter found himself blocked a few metres before the finish and took fifth on the line. These things happen and we have to keep building upon the work done so far."

- Daniel Oss (Bora-Hansgrohe) following Stage 5: "In the pre-race meeting we talked about going in the breakaway and I think we did a good job there. There is no doubt it was a very hard stage and I think it was very good training for the remaining of the Tirreno-Adriatico and the Milano-Sanremo."

- Enrico Poitschke, Sports Director, Bora-Hansgrohe, after Stage 5: "Yet another hard stage today and we tried again to go in the big breakaway group. Daniel managed to catch it and was there but the final lap proved too tough. At the same time, we were also focused on bringing Davide Formolo and Rafał Majka in a good position in that final lap. The guys were there but in the important moment they were too far in the back of the peloton, so when it split it wasn't possible for them to get back in, despite the very strong effort they put in. The day didn't exactly turn out the way we would have liked or expected but tomorrow is another day, and we'll try to have a good result with Peter."

- Jakob Fuglsang (Astana Pro Team) won Stage 5.  Adam Yates (Mitchelton-Scott) extended his overall race lead.

- Adam Yates (Mitchelton-Scott) following Stage 5: "I got a little bit of time, but ideally Fuglsang wouldn’t have been in front and I could have won the stage, but again the strongest guy won today.  I did what I could on the final climb to drop Roglic and I gained some seconds, I did my best.  In the back of my head I would have liked 45 seconds just to be safe, I’m not sure how much time he [Roglic] look out of me last year, but I think he was top 10 [in the time trial].  But we’ll see, I’ll just do my best and where I end up, I end up. It’s not a TT course that suits me, but I’ll try my best and hopefully it’s enough."

- Matt White (Mitchelton-Scott directeur sportif) after Stage 5: "It’s going to be all to play for in the time trial, there’s still another day to go but Adam has shown that he’s got some very, very good form at the moment.  We finally saw a little chink in the armour of Roglic on an incredibly hard day, I think the gradient where Adam dropped him was maybe 20% and after brutal day yesterday Adam backed it up very well.  The race looks like it’s going to go down to the wire, it’s going to be a matter of seconds that decides this race, 25 seconds on one of the world’s best time trialists is going to be tight.  Tomorrow’s a day for the sprinters, obviously we’ve got to be vigilant at the start as always, but it’s the second and last opportunity for the sprinters so tomorrow will about trying to conserve energy for a time trial that’s going to decide the race."

- Alexey Lutsenko (Astana Pro Team) won Stage 4.  Adam Yates (Mitchelton-Scott) remains leader on G.C.

- Davide Formolo (Bora-Hangrohe) following Stage 4: "It was a hard stage, I'd say a chaotic one, and I think we did a good job as a team. Unfortunately, Rafał crashed again, but we are still there and we'll keep fighting. Tomorrow we have another tough stage and we'll see how the legs go."

- Jan Valach, Sports Director, Bora-Hansgrohe: "Today, we tried to go for the stage win with Davide Formolo and Rafał Majka. Our strategy was to send a man if a big breakaway formed. We had Marcus Burghardt in a group of ten riders that managed to have a lead of over 9 minutes. As the stage progressed the break was brought in and, unfortunately, in the final climb, Davide was about 50-60 metres behind the leading group and the blue jersey and was unable to bridge to them. He finished fifth, ahead of the main bunch, so, on the one hand, we can be happy with that but on the other, I think we could have done better in this stage."

- Results: Viviani wins stage 3. (Cyclingnews) - Sagan is second, Gaviria third.

- Elia Viviani (Deceuninck-Quickstep) won Stage 3.  Adam Yates (Mitchelton-Scott) remains overall leader.

- Enrico Poitschke (Bora-Hansgrohe directeur sportif) after Stage 3: "It was a long stage and our focus was to work for Peter and the sprint finish. The guys did a good job in the stage and in the finale, they were there and brought Peter in a good position. He was the first to launch his sprint and in the end, got second place. It was a very good result, taking into consideration the problems he had during the last weeks. We see this as a sign he's getting stronger every day which, combined with the nice job by the team, makes us feel satisfied."

- Peter Sagan (Bora-Hansgrohe) following Stage 3: "I knew it wouldn't be an easy sprint but I wanted to give it a try. Although my form is still not at the level it should be right now, I was feeling quite better today. I'd like to thank the rest of the team for their great work, especially in the final kilometres where they put me in a perfect position. It was a nice sprint and close finish, something to be expected when you are against strong sprinters like Gaviria and Viviani. I'm improving day by day and in every stage, we will try to get the best result we can."

- Matt White (Mitchelton-Scott sports director) after Stage 3: "Because of the composition of the breakaway, the highest guy on GC was at six minutes, we didn’t have any direct pressure to do anything today except look after Adam and the boys did a really good job of that.  The pressure was on the sprint teams to chase the break today with it being one of only two opportunities for the sprinters, and so our guys had a relatively easy day.  The race is going to be decided in the next two days and it will be a real classics style of racing and I’m expecting a very aggressive next two days."

- Race leader Adam Yates (Mitchelton-Scott) following Stage 3: "It was a long day, but the sprinter's teams controlled it all day, so we just sat behind them and tried to save some energy.  In every bunch sprint there’s always the possibility of gaps but the guys guided me really well, especially in the last 20km, we stuck to the left side of the road and we stayed in a good position all the way. So great job by the team and another day in the jersey.  Tomorrow’s not as hard as stage five but it could be decisive so we’ll just wait and see."

- News: Van Avermaet upbeat despite losing out to Alaphilippe at Tirreno. (Cyclingnews) - CCC Team leader already looking ahead to more opportunities for stage wins.

- Davide Formolo (Bora-Hansgrohe): "It was a fast climb and since our chances for a GC position were dashed with the crash yesterday, Daniel tried to attack at the bottom of the last climb and then controlled. When Lutsenko gave it a go, to anticipate the sprint, I tried to follow but it didn't work out and there nothing more we could in order to force an early sprint."

- Enrico Poitschke, Bora-Hansgrohe Sports Director following Stage 2: "After yesterday's bad crash we wanted to see how Rafał and Oscar would feel in the stage. In addition, with Peter still recovering from his sickness we didn't know how it would play out. Overall, the guys felt OK but then we had more bad luck. Peter had a puncture going downhill, about 15km to the finish, and it wasn't possible for him to get back to the main group. The rest of the guys took their chances, Davide tried as well in the final kilometres but it didn't work out. I could say it was a normal racing day for us and we look forward to the upcoming stages."

- Matt White (Mitchelton-Scott directeur sportif) after Stage 2: "It was great that Heppy could take the jersey yesterday and we weren’t going to throw it away that’s for sure.  The boys rode a nice intelligent race today, we wanted to have a crack at the stage and we did, Adam was fifth on the day and it’s been a low stress day.  It was a long day in the office for some of the boys, with Edmo and Heppy who chased, but we wanted to give Adam a good chance of a result today and he did a good job."

- Adam Yates (Mitchelton-Scott) following Stage 2 where he moved into the race lead: "This kind of finish doesn’t suit me down to the ground, it’s more for the punchier guys like Alaphilippe and Van Avermaet, so I’m happy with my position and we’ll just take it day by day and see what tomorrow brings.  It’s good, I’m not sure how long I’ll hold onto it [the race lead], but we’ll try our best and see how it goes.  After yesterday’s big ride in the TTT, it was another hard stage today, a different kind of stage but I’m happy with my position, happy with my condition.  Tomorrow’s a sprint stage then we have a few punchy, tricky stages and like I said yesterday, there’s no real hard, long mountain stage, a lot of hard short stages, so we’ll see how the legs are and take it from there."

- More from Michael Hepburn (Mitchelton-Scott) after Stage 1: "We’ve been here before and gone off early and the wind changes, but finally this year we had a bit of luck on our side.  We were quietly confident in our team, we have a lot of big boys, a lot of powerful time trialists and today was one of our chances to get some time and we did that."

- Race leader Michael Hepburn (Mitchelton-Scott) following Stage 1: "Team trials are very technical these days and it’s something our team enjoys doing, especially myself.  Tirreno is one of my favourite races of the year, I always seem to be in good condition here, but to be completely honest, I don’t deserve the jersey more than anyone else in the squad, that was just the order we were coming into the home straight.  It was a good little advantage for us being last off, knowing the times and also with the weather, the road dried up a little bit."

- Adam Yates after Mitchelton-Scott's victory in the Team Time Trial: "Super start! We’ve been trying to win a TTT for a long time, I think I’ve been here four or five years now and every time we try, every year we bring a super strong team and we’ve been close and now we’ve finally got it!  Tonight we’ll look at the standings and work out where we are, it’s going to be tough, there’s no big, super hard mountain stages this year, but we’ll see and just take it stage by stage."

- Jan-Niklas Droste, Bora-Hansgrohe Team Doctor: "We had an unlucky day, marred by a bad crash. Oscar Gatto has quite a lot of bruises while Rafał Majka went down hard. He has hematomas and abrasions on his head and we will have to run additional tests and diagnostics in order to evaluate whether the impact caused a concussion or not."

- Enrico Poitschke, BORA-hansgrohe Sports Director: "Unfortunately, we had a very bad day. Just 3.5km into the stage, a spectator crashed into the team, taking down two riders and splitting up the squad. From then on our guys weren't in the best mood but still gave a fight. The good news is that Rafał Majka is set to continue the race. He doesn't look good after the crash but he will be there. Our chances at the GC are probably gone now but we will try to fight for, possibly, a stage win that will keep our spirits high. Still, it was a very bad day for us."

- Two Bora-Hansgrohe riders crashed during the Stage 1 TTT.  Said Maciej Bodnar post-stage: "It's a pity we started the Tirreno-Adriatico with such an unlucky incident. I felt well and I think we were doing a good time-trial but the crash so early in the stage was not a good thing at all. We lost our momentum and we had only five riders left for most of the stage, so it was difficult to be competitive. I wish Rafał and Oscar a speedy recovery."

- Greg Van Avermaet (CCC Team): "I always enjoy racing at Tirreno-Adriatico. I have some really nice memories there with my overall win and stage wins over the years so I would like to add to the tally in the CCC Team jersey. The team time trial on stage one will be the first one for most of us this year and given we have won the last three times, it is always an important stage for the team so I hope we can start the week with a good result. From there, I think I have a chance in a few of the stages so we will see how the race goes.  A stage race like Tirreno-Adriatico is the best way to get some solid racing kilometers in the legs so if I can finish the race with good sensations then I will head to the rest of the Classics with a lot of confidence."

- CCC Team lineup for the 2019 Tirreno-Adriatico:

Joey Rosskopf (USA)
Michael Schär (SUI)
Greg Van Avermaet (BEL)
Gijs Van Hoecke (BEL)
Nathan Van Hooydonck (BEL)
Guillaume Van Keirsbulck (BEL)
Łukasz Wiśniowski (POL)
 
Sports Directors: Valerio Piva (ITA), Fabio Baldato (ITA)

- Valerio Piva (CCC Team d.s.): "A good result on stage one can make a difference on the General Classification, because there is a big chance to take time in the team time trial. Then, we will take things day by day and try to win a stage with Greg. We don’t really need to protect Greg every day, so the other riders will all have a chance to take an opportunity and race aggressively."

- Valerio Piva (CCC Team directeur sportif): "The parcours of this year’s Tirreno-Adriatico is a little bit different to the last years. It’s not a really mountainous race with uphill finishes, it’s more of a traditional Tirreno-Adriatico with a lot of up and down undulating terrain. There is one really hard stage with a final circuit and short climb, so I think Greg Van Avermaet can finish with a good result on this parcours. However, the main objective is to try and win a stage and finish the preparation for the Classics."

- Team Bahrain-Merida line-up for Tirreno-Adriatico:

Vincenzo Nibali
Damiano Caruso
Rohan Dennis
Phil Bauhaus
Jan Tratnik
Matej Mohoric
Marcel Sieberg

- Gorazd Stangelj (Bahrain-Merida): "With this year's route, the race should be much more open. It will be very important to have a good start with TTT on Wednesday and then manage the day by day race. For the Overall, I would focus on Vincenzo Nibali and Damiano Caruso, while Rohan Dennis will make a big contribution in the two time trials."

- Rohan Dennis (Bahrain-Merida) ahead of the 2019 Tirreno-Adriatico: "I'm pretty motivated to help the TT team and also the final TT.  The rest is all about maximizing the benefit I get from helping the team in the road races for the upcoming races."

- Damiano Caruso (Bahrain-Merida): "My condition is similar to last year if not better. The crash at the Uae Tour has slowed me a bit, but I think I can make a good Tirreno. Only thing, it’s pity for me that there are no big climbs."

- Marcel Kittel after his Stage 6 victory had this to say in the post-race press conference: "This second stage victory isn’t necessarily better than the first one, which was my first pro win in Italy, so it was special. Today’s win is also special because it’s the birthday of Nathan Haas and it wasn’t an easy stage at all. I’m proud of the team. Katusha-Alpecin has a big potential in leadout with Rick Zabel and Marco Haller. With rouleurs like Alex Dowsett and Tony Martin, we can combine things really well. Today’s victory will keep everyone in the team motivated."
