The team time trial has become a favourite of race director Angelo Zomegnan. The TTT always tended to be the preserve of the Tour de France, but the last three editions of the Giro have kicked off with one. This first Italian stage of the race is a team time trial with a difference.
The distance is moderate, the roads almost dead straight, but it's unusual to see a TTT that climbs as much as this. The rise in altitude of more than 200m is significant and will allow the best-organised teams to gain crucial time gaps.
