Tadej Pogacar has let everyone else have a turn, now the Slovenian is expected to unleash himself in the race of truth. A smidge over 40km await the bunch in the first individual time trial of the 2024 Giro d'Italia, with Pogacar boasting a healthy 46-second lead over Geraint Thomas. So how can you watch the action on Friday? And when does coverage begin? Read on to find out...
Stage 7 profile and route map: Foligno - Perugia
The first of the race’s two individual time trials is the most difficult and comes at an important time in the race ahead of two tricky days prior to the first rest day. For the first 34km this is a fast and flat ride up the Topino valley in Umbria, passing near the historic hilltop town of Assisi. But the cat will be thrown among the pigeons 6.6km from the finish with a punchy double-digit climb (1.3km at 10.7%) ahead of a flat section and then a steady rise to the beautiful city of Perugia.
Another ramp of 11% comes 2km from the finish ahead of the leg-sapping final push towards the broad avenue of the Corso Vannucci, the social centre of the city. Such is the test of the final quarter that riders with serious ambitions to take the win – or merely to limit their losses – will have to manage their efforts on the flat section in the valley for fear of blowing up at the end.
Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) is already in pole position and will be looking to consolidate - or more likely increase - his 46-second advantage over Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers) in the general classification.
