13.36 Today was a very awaited day at the Tour de France, where the results of the swabs arrived: out of 650 tests carried out only four staff members were positive, plus the race director Christian Prudhomme. Click here for more details.

13.33 At the head of the group are the men of Bora-Hansgrohe and those of Team Ineos.

13.29 The runners are heading to Pomaia, home to a rather well-known Buddhist spiritual center.

13.26 Escape does not particularly worry the group, which is managing the situation from afar.

13.23 The backstage of today’s stage.

13.19 The group has slightly increased the pace to mend the distance from the attackers.

13.16 Here is an image of the four leaders, all representatives of the Bel Paese.

13.12 The first 79 kilometers of the 201 scheduled have been covered. The average speed recorded so far is 40.5 km / h.

13.08 We recall that yesterday, in the inaugural stage, Pascal Ackermann (Bora-Hansgrohe) won, who defeated Fernando Gaviria (UAE Team Emirates) in a sprint and took possession of the blue jersey. The German will go hunting for an encore in Follonica.

13.04 The advantage of the fugitives now stands at 3 ‘.

13.00 Let’s summarize the names of the four leaders: Nicola Bagioli (Androni-Sidermec), Umberto Orsini (Bardiani-CSF-Faizanè), Marco Canola (Gazprom) and Edoardo Zardini (Vini Zabù-KTM).

12:54 Pinch yourself at this juncture to refresh the men of Jumbo-Visma. Necessary and indispensable choice to better face such a long and demanding stage.

12:51 So let’s recap the situation of today’s stage which sees a squad of 4 riders in the lead from the first kilometers of the race with an advantage that, in the last minutes, has always remained stable around 4’00 ”.

12:48 Fresh news of the last hour meanwhile the result of the 650 swabs carried out at the Tour de France which highlighted the positivity of 4 individuals, including the name of the French race director Christian Prudhomme, who will now have to carry out now a forced quarantine.

12:44 Here are the images of the platoon in which, we remember, all the favorite sprinters for today’s victory are still present.

12:40 We also remember that many teams are preserving themselves in view of the next three fractions, which will be full of pitfalls and meters of altitude and which, inevitably, will redesign the general classification.

12:37 Understandable, however, the intent of the group, which sees another 145 km of racing ahead of it and believes that it still has enough road to easily get back on the men in command.

12:34 Return to increase the gap. Great understanding between the four in front who continue to give each other regular changes and now have a 4’40 ”margin to manage.

12:30 Weather that is not creating particular problems for the runners. The day is sunny and the temperature is practically optimal for cycling.

12:27 Bora which in the meantime at this juncture has significantly increased the pace in the group to try to recover something on the attackers. Margin which for the first time fell below 4’30 ”.

12:24 First hour of running ended. Hourly average which was 40,102 km / h.

12:20 Gap between escape and group which, after having stabilized for a few kilometers, is now slowly starting to descend.

12:16 Four men in command who are entering Pisa at the moment, with about 4’40 ”ahead of the caravan controlled by Bora Hansgrohe.

12:13 Failing to keep up with his fellow fugitives, the Frenchman Geoffrey Bouchard has already broken off and was quickly reabsorbed by the group.

12:09 60 kilometers that separate the caravan from the climb to Castellina Marittima, the only GPM of the day and the only noteworthy roughness scheduled for today.

12:05 Today, the statements of the British champion of Team Ineos Chris Froome, who yesterday admitted that he understood 100% of the reasons that led his team to exclude him from the Tour de France, declaring that he cares a lot about the Corsa dei Due Mari, which will be fundamental to him, together with the two weeks of high ground in program, to prepare the Vuelta di Spagna.

12:01 Platoon now led by Bora Hansgrohe, which seems to have anything but bellicose intentions. Mild pace and escape reported at 4’50 ”.

11:57 Margin of fugitives which at this juncture is continuing to increase and now settles at 4’30 “.

11:54 Let’s summarize the racing situation in this start: at the command are Geoffrey Bouchard (Ag2r La Mondiale), Nicola Bagioli (Androni-Sidermec), Umberto Orsini (Bardiani-CSF-Faizanè), Marco Canola (Gazprom) and Edoardo Zardini (Vini Zabù-KTM), with a considerable advantage over the peloton that follows them.

11:51 These are the images of the attackers, who have had an easy time so far in gaining a good treasure of seconds ahead of the group.

11:48 Advantage of the leading squad that is increasing visibly. The margin is already above 2 ‘.

11:45 Five men in command at the moment: it is the French Bouchard and the Azzurri Bagioli, Orsini, Canola and Zardini.

11:42 am The attack attempts begin to flock in the first positions of the group, with the platoon that seems to leave room for escape.

11:39 Meanwhile, the short scheduled climb ended, with the group now facing the descent compactly. Then for many kilometers the road will be totally flat.

11:36 Very likely that today some forwards could escape the control of the blue jersey group. It will then be the task of the sprinter teams, eventually, to take them back in the final.

11:32 These are the statements of Fernando Gaviria, one of the great expectations of the eve. The Colombian would like to make up for it immediately after yesterday’s joke.

11:28 Today’s fraction that immediately places the runners in front of the short ascent of Montemagno, which will allow the caravan to then launch towards Pisa.

11:25 OFFICIALLY MATCH THE SECOND STAGE!

11:21 We remember that as in the Grande Boucle, also here in the Tirreno-Adriatico the protocols to fight Covid-19 are very strict. In these minutes, among other things, all the teams of the Tour de France are with bated breath waiting to discover a possible positivity of one of their runners after the tampons made this morning.

11:17 So he also glimpses Ackermann’s blue shirt in the stretch that leads to zeroing.

11:14 All the athletes ready for the start seem to have only a few moments to go.

11:11 Dutchman Mathieu Van der Poel could turn out to be one of the big favorites for today’s final success. Keep your eyes open on Fernando Gaviria, Magnus Cort Nielsen and on yesterday’s winner and general leader Pascal Ackermann.

11:09 Second consecutive fraction with possible sprint finish which must not deceive those who follow us. In fact, as of tomorrow, the group’s fast wheels could leave the scene of the Corsa dei Due Mari, which in the next stages will offer arrivals almost exclusively suitable for climbers and stage hunters.

11:06 Teams that go to the usual appointment of the signature sheet, waiting to arrange themselves for the official start of this second fraction.

11:03 In the meantime, there are less than 5 minutes before the start of today’s fraction which, we remember, will be really long, with a total of 201 km to go.

10:59 After yesterday’s fraction saw the German Pascal Ackermann prevail with an imperious sprint, today the finish seems to wink again at the sprinters of the group, ready to fight again.

10:55 Friends of OA Sport good morning and welcome to LIVE LIVE of the second stage of Tirreno-Adriatico 2020.

Route and favorites of todayThe startlist of the Tirreno-Adriatico The general classification

Hello friends of OA Sport and welcome to LIVE LIVE of the second part of the Tirreno-Adriatico 2020, which will run from Camaiore to Follonica for a total of 201 kilometers in total. The course will be almost totally flat for the first 180 kilometers, after which the riders will enter the final circuit where they will have to face the tear of the Impostino which, so few meters from the finish line, could also tempt some finisseurs.

Looking forward to the great challenges between former teammates Vincenzo Nibali and Jakob Fuglsang, who will have to deal with the terrible pair of Team Ineos Grenadiers formed by the British Chris Froome e Geraint Thomas, today’s stage could also see the fast wheels of the platoon favored, for a second finish in the sprint.

So watch out for what they can invent Davide Ballerini (Deceuninck Quick-Step), Fernando Gaviria (UAE Team Emirates), the flying Dutchman Mathieu Van der Poel (Alpecin Fenix), who could also try to start a few meters more from the finish, the always dangerous Michael Matthews (Team Sunweb) and the very fast Teutonic Pascal Ackermann (Bora-Hansgrohe).

Our DIRETTA LIVE of the second stage of the Tirreno-Adriatico will start at 11.00, so as not to miss a single pedal turn of the magnificent Corsa dei Due Mari.
