The Dutchman was 21 seconds faster than the Colombian in the seventh stage, but had to make up for 39 seconds. Mollema thus remained in place or two.
Quintana is the first Colombian winner of the Tirreno. His compatriot Rigoberto Uran is number three with a delay of 31 seconds.
Fabian Cancellara, teammate of Mollema Trek, the time trial won about ten kilometers in San Benedetto Del Tronto in 11 minutes and 23 seconds. The Italian Adriano Malori, winner of the prologue, finished second in four seconds, for Vasil Kirijenka.
Cancellara made his own words a mistake. On the opening day of the fiftieth edition of the Tirreno he left surprised by Malori. The race against the clock was only half as long.
“I have given everything and am happy with the result. This victory is in the pocket, but of course I also look at a bigger show. That is this weekend, “said Cancellara, referring to Milan-San Remo

WorldTour ranking
11:57 Mollema rode an excellent time trial, especially given its dramatic race against the clock for Belkin in the Tour de France last year. The climber fell time after a 140th place three spots in the standings and then complained about his time trial bike.
The 28-year-old Mollema trained this year more on that discipline and had his own words offered a better bike . That was to show its 22nd place just three seconds from a big name like Alberto Contador.
Quintana hit his battle through Sunday in the stage to Terminillo, which was gesteisterd through the snow. Mollema came closest to him in the neighborhood during the ride where Wout Poels, winner of the fourth stage, lost his jersey. The Limburger was finally seventh in the standings on 56 seconds of Quintana.
Mollema is because of his good performance in Italy in the fifth place of the World Tour rankings, led by Paris-Nice winner Richie Porte. Quintana is now third, seven points above Tom Dumoulin, another Dutchman in the top ten.
Mollema satisfied with second place in Tirreno-Adriatico
