Hello, and welcome to our coverage of stage 18 of the Giro d'Italia. It's a second individual time trial today: a mostly flat, 31.2km route from Castiglione delle Stiviere to Desenzano del Garda on the shore of Lake Garda in northern Italy.
It's a stage that could open up gaps in the GC. And, for time triallists like Filippo Ganna (Ineos Grenadiers), it's a second chance to claim a stage win.
