Tirreno-Adriatico has as the main features the uphill finish to the race, but the tension has led to crashes.
Wout van Aert and
Tom Pidcock collided with each other and crashed in the run-up to the final climb.
The incident happened with just over 3 kilometers to go as the riders were set to enter the final ascent to Tortoreto.
