Tirreno Adriatico crowns Juan Ayuso. The Spanish rider from UAE Team Emirates wins the World Tour race that ended today with the seventh and final stage, Porto Potenza Picena-San Benedetto del Tronto, won in a sprint by Jonathan Milan, who repeats his success from the second stage in Follonica. A great sprint by the Friulian from Lidl Trek, who beats Sam Bennett (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale) by half a wheel and Olav Kooij from Visma Lease a Bike. Giovanni Lonardi from Team Polti VisitMalta finishes sixth.
The stage was far from predictable, characterized by a explosive start with world champion Mathieu Van Der Poel's (Alpecin Deceuninck) uphill attack. At kilometer 103, Filippo Ganna makes a surprise move, well-guided by his Ineos Grenadiers teammates, taking the 3" at the flying finish that allows the hour record holder to climb to second place in the final classification. The final emotions come from the sprint where Milan demonstrates his full power.
