1:00 p.m. – The favorites of the first stage
This Giro 2024 will already experience a hilly stage this Saturday for the first stage. And the profile could already correspond to the huge favorite for the final coronation Tadej Pogacar. But he won’t be the only one coveting a victory to take the leader’s pink jersey. The French Romain Bardet or Alexey Lutsenko have a good chance of winning in Turin. Another Frenchman could play spoilsport since Julien Alaphilippe likes this kind of course.
12:45 – The profile of the first stage
The first stage between Venaria Reale and Turin will start in just over an hour now. Now is the time to discover and detail the profile of the first stage, 140 kilometers long. The San Vito climb in the finale should already please climbers with 1.41 kilometers at 10% average. Before the Colle Maddalena (6.1km at 7.4%) will impose itself on the runners of this 2024 Giro.

12:15 – “Reducing the Giro to me is shit”
This is the big declaration of this before Giro 2024 signed Tadej Pogacar. The huge favorite of this 107th edition of the Tour of Italy does not want the outsiders of this race to be buried too soon. “Every time I start a race, people say that I’m the favorite. I’m used to it, I’ve learned to live with it and I’m prepared for it. I know that everyone everyone will want to beat me and it will be up to my team to control the race”, declared the Slovenian before returning to the specialists’ opinion on his status as ultra favorite: “It’s a bit ‘shit’ because it’s is disrespectful to the other riders. Everyone has worked hard and wants to win, and it’s possible.”
