And here we are at the fifth stage of Tirreno-Adriatico, the Marotta-Mondolfo - Mombaroccio ready to deliver unique emotions to all cycling enthusiasts.
It's the stage of the Walls, but it's not "simply" the stage of the Walls: it's something much more. If it's true that this year the Two Seas Race lacks a major climb, here the fifth stage presents itself as a true classic with 21 - twenty-one - Walls and 3,900 meters of elevation gain over 183 km. And if you consider that the first 35 km are relatively flat, the difficulty of the stage becomes even more evident.

Two locations just over 30 km apart from each other, from the sea of Marotta to the first inland area of Mombaroccio, for a route that will be characterized by brutal climbs and descents without a single meter of flat terrain. The design of the stage, created by the friends of the Polisportiva Alighiero Omicioli of Saltara, is truly exhilarating: the "first time" of the Pesaro walls promises to be remembered for a long time.
Add that the last five climbs will be repeated twice within a 22 km circuit, shake it well and you'll have an explosive stage. Are we going out on a limb? We are: if Mathieu Van der Poel decides to use this stage as a dress rehearsal for Sanremo or the Flanders, he can literally cause havoc.
Are we exaggerating? Take a careful look at the table we report below and... get your popcorn and chips ready: the Pesaro walls promise truly spectacular racing
