The first of two individual time trials at the 2024 Giro d'Italia will take place on stage 7 on Friday. The first rider, Julius van den Berg (Team dsm-firmenich PostNL), will head down the starting ramp at 13:10 CET local time in Folingo.
The 40.6km individual time trial is held along a primarily flat route that begins in Foligno and ends with a climb to the finish in Perugia.
Intermediate checks come at 18.6km and 34km before the flat run-out turns into an ascent to the finish line.
The event offers an opportunity for the time trial specialists, with Tobias Foss (Ineos Grenadiers) taking off at 13:41, Mikkel Berg (UAE Team Emirates) set to start at 14:24, and all eyes on Filippo Ganna (Ineos Grenadiers) at 14:37.
The race for the general classification will be among the later starters, with Luke Plapp (Team Jayco AlUla) set to go at 15:42, Ben O'Connor (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale) at 15:42, and Cian Uijtdebroeks (Visma-Lease a Bike) at 16:15.
The top three in the overall classification will then head down the ramp, with Daniel Martínez (Bora-Hansgrohe) at 16:18, Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadies) at 16:21, and maglia rosa Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) as the last rider at 16:24.
