Together with the Tirreno – Adriatico 2018 stage races make the debut on Italian soil. The World Tour event is traditionally one of the two stage races that introduce the Classics pretenders to the first Monument race of the season, Milano – SanRemo, through the path that leads to San Benedetto del Tronto from the mild Tyrrhenian shores. The Tirreno – Adriatico will take place for the fiftythird time and the 2018 edition of the race held by RCS Sport will occur between 7 and 13 March. Twenty-two teams are taking part to the event, eighteen of which are World Teams whereas the remaining four are Professional teams: Wilier Triestina – Selle Italia, Nippo – Vini Fantini – Europa Ovini, Gazprom – Rusvelo and Israel Cycling Academy conclude the list.
