Ineos Grenadiers have several favourites to win the opening time trial at the Giro d'Italia, where the first leader's jersey awaits the winner at the finish line in Palermo. 

New world champion Filippo Ganna, Geraint Thomas, and Rohan Dennis will be in contention for the win, as will NTT Pro Cycling's specialist Victor Campenaerts.
