strada Cocciari, in Sant’Elpidio a Mare (Fermo), terrorized the professionals on Monday during Stage 6 of Tirreno-Adriatico and entered into racing history. Some of the pros were reduced to walking and others rode at a pace slower than an old man walking with a cane. Now, it has become legendary and a spot that all lovers of two wheels will have to visit to challenge themselves.

2013 Tirreno-Adriatico, Vincenzo Nibali Wins
The stage winner was Tony Martin who rode the 9,2 km course in 10:25 (avergage of 53.0 km/h).
The race was won yesterday on the very difficult Porto Sant’Elpidio stage when he wrestled the maglia azzurra away from Froome and brought a 34 second lead over Froome into today's stage. Nibali doesn't mind cold and rain which is the forecast for Sunday's Milan-Sanremo. With his current form, race instincts, and bad weather he shrugs off, he will be a favorite.
Top 10 ITT, final stage:
1 Tony Martin (Ger) Omega Pharma-Quick Step 0:10:25
2 Adriano Malori (Ita) Lampre-Merida 0:00:06

2013 Tirreno-Adriatico, Stage 6 Results
It was an incredibly difficult day, one which saw the pros walking up a 27% grade nearing the finish. Michele Acquarone was tweeting, "...it was too much. We lost the right balance." Adding to the suffering was more of the same nasty weather that has accompanied Tirreno-Adriatico this year. Fifty two riders abandoned today.
The result: Vincenzo Nibali is the new race leader.
Rider comments:
Taylor Phinney: "Probably the most trying day I've ever had on a bike. When I wanted to stop, I thought about my Dad and I didn't quit. I made it, 37min down". Phinney was the only rider that continued on despite that his effort would see his arrival at the finish outside the time limit (there is a fan sentiment that for his efforts he should be allowed to be allowed to race the final stage tomorrow).
Alberto Condator remarked, "Sometimes you don’t believe it’s possible to go up on the bike.”
Peter Sagan: "It was a very hard stage. When the rain started to fall, the gradients of 30% were hard to get up. I heard Contador say that, when he climbed out of the saddle, his back wheel slipped. I rode in the saddle all the time."
Fabian Cancellara: "I have just to say today's stage has nothing to do with bike racing."
Chris Froome: "That was really hard. As soon as the weather came down, the conditions got even harder. I just didn't have the legs in the final. I felt I was a little over-geared and I don't think I was dressed warmly enough for the weather."
The last 1.6 Km of a saw-tooth course profile:
Top 10 GC:
1 Vincenzo Nibali (Ita) Astana Pro Team 27:57:26
2 Christopher Froome (GBr) Sky Procycling 0:00:34
3 Joaquim Rodriguez Oliver (Spa) Katusha 0:00:37
4 Alberto Contador Velasco (Spa) Team Saxo-Tinkoff 0:00:48
5 Michal Kwiatkowski (Pol) Omega Pharma-Quick Step 0:00:58
6 Christopher Horner (USA) RadioShack Leopard 0:01:05
7 Mauro Santambrogio (Ita) Vini Fantini-Selle Italia 0:01:20
8 Przemyslaw Niemiec (Pol) Lampre-Merida 0:02:54
9 Andrey Amador Bakkazakova (CRc) Movistar Team 0:02:58
10 Wouter Poels (Ned) Vacansoleil-DCM Pro Cycling Team 0:03:08
Tomorrow: final stage, 9.2 km individual time trial, in which Vincenzo Nibali will hope to repeat last year's race victory.

2013 Tirreno-Adriatico, Stage 2 Results
After almost six hours of riding in wet, miserable, weather a somewhat disorganized sprint into Indicatore was won Matthew Goss (Orica-GreenEdge). Next for the podium in same time, 5:48:41, as Goss were were Manuel Belletti (AG2R La Mondiale ) and Gerald Ciolek (MTN-Qhubeka). Arriving 5th, also in same time, was Mark Cavendish who retains the maglia azzurra.
“This is the first road stage I’ve done in Europe this year,” said Goss. “To come away with the win is great. It’s huge for my motivation and confidence, and it’s hopefully great for the team as well. With the win also in Paris-Nice today (Michael Albasini won the fourth stage) , we’re all on a bit of a high at the moment. It’s a great day for ORICA-GreenEDGE.”
“We had specific markers,” explained Goss. “We wanted to come to the front at 1.8 kilometres before we went over an overpass. After the overpass, there was a right hand turn. It was the last corner at one kilometre to go. We knew if we weren’t in the top ten around that corner, we’d have no chance to win the race. From there, it didn’t matter how fast you were or how many teammates you had to help. Everyone is sprinting at the point, and it is vital to be at the front. We were there, and it set me up for the win. Big thanks to the team, especially to Lancaster and Docker, for helping me out today. It was a complete team effort.”
Cavendish was not pleased with how his day ended saying, "I'm quite disappointed today with my leadout. I know they're so much better than that. I had to do a lot work in last kilometre. I was 30 riders back and had to come round. I was coming and coming and still thought I as in with a chance with 500 metres to go. I was moving up but then the peloton moved to the right and I had to slam on my brakes with 200 to go. That was the end of the chance of winning. I feel we could have got more out of today. We've got to have words tonight I'll talk about my feelings. We'll see what happens."
Top 10 GC:
1 Mark Cavendish (GBr) Omega Pharma-Quick Step 6:08:02
2 Michal Kwiatkowski (Pol) Omega Pharma-Quick Step 0:00:02
3 Niki Terpstra (Ned) Omega Pharma-Quick Step 0:00:03
4 Tony Martin (Ger) Omega Pharma-Quick Step
5 Zdenek Stybar (Cze) Omega Pharma-Quick Step
6 Giovanni Visconti (Ita) Movistar Team 0:00:14
7 Alex Dowsett (GBr) Movistar Team
8 Juan Jose Cobo Acebo (Spa) Movistar Team
9 Benat Intxausti Elorriaga (Spa) Movistar Team
10 Eros Capecchi (Ita) Movistar Team
Tomorrow: Indicatore - Narni Scalo 190km. Possibly a good day for the sprinters but 3 km from the finish is a short section of 700 meters at 5% that could be a launching pad for Sagan, Moser, or Pozzato.
As a note: Goss and Cavendish are both recent Milan-Sanremo winners, Goss in 2011 and Cavendish in 2009. MSR is March 17th.
