Starting at 14.30 Cyclingquotes.com will provide live updates from stage 7 of the Tirreno-Adriatico.

A perfectly flat, 9.2 km individual time trial out and back along the broad, palm-lined avenues of the sea front at San Benedetto del Tronto will settle matters at this year’s Tirreno-Adriatico.

Going into the ITT things could still be altered as the gaps between the riders at the top of the GC are still relatively small:

1 Vincenzo Nibali - Astana
2 Chris Froome - Sky 0.34
3 Joaquim Rodriguez - Katusha 0.37
4 Alberto Contador - Team Saxo-Tinkoff 0.48
5 Michal Kwiatkowski - Omega Pharma-Quick Step 0.58
6 Chris Horner - RadioShack-Leopard 1.05

Stage start formalities:
First rider starts: 14.03 – Martin Velits
Last rider starts: 16.00 – Vincenzo Nibali
