After three flat stages, the Giro d’Italia Women is set for a major shake-up on stage 4, with the 12.7km individual time trial from Belluno to Nevegal. After a fairly flat opener, the course then kicks up on the final 7.4km climb with an average gradient of 8.2% and maximum pitches of 14%. It’s going to hurt.
The start order for time trials in stage races is determined by position on the general classification in reverse, so last-placed Ilaria Marinetto will be the first rider off at 13:05 local time.
The 144-rider field will roll down the start ramp at one-minute intervals, before a three-minute gap separates each of the final 15 women.
The two big favourites for the stage victory are time trial world champion Marlen Reusser (Movistar), the 118th rider to start at 15:02, and Demi Vollering (FDJ United-SUEZ), at 15:34.
Preview
Anna van der Breggen (SD Worx-Protime), third at the time trial World Championships, will start nine minutes after Vollering.
Riders that could spend time in the hot seat early on include Swedish time trial champion Stina Kagevi (EF Education-Oatly) starting at, 14:17, Isabella Holmgren (Lidl-Trek) at 15:07, Viktória Chladoňová (Visma-Lease a Bike) at 15:09 and Antonia Niedermaier (Canyon-SRAM) at 15:22.
As for three-time stage winner and race leader Elisa Balsamo (Lidl-Trek), heading off last at 15:58, her lead of 30 seconds will probably not be enough for her to retain the maglia rosa.
