1:10 p.m. – A recognition this morning

The riders of this Giro 2024 were able to reconnoitre the route this morning before the departure of the first rider at 1:40 p.m. According to the first lessons revealed on Eurosport, the profile is ultimately surprising because it is not that flat.

1:00 p.m. – Phil Bauhaus drops out

The German rider from the Bahrain Victorious team will not take part in the second time trial of this 2024 Giro. The team has just announced it on last week does not correspond to the profile of the sprinter.

12:50 – The calm before the storm?

This time trial comes on the eve of a mountain stage which promises to be formidable. Tomorrow the runners will tackle a 222km long stage with a total elevation gain of 5400m. A summit finish is planned in Livigno. But before then there is this 14th stage of the Giro 2024 in a very different register.

12:40 – The situation in the general classification

Before heading into a week of high altitude in this Giro 2024, let’s take stock of the general classification which could still be shaken up after this time trial. Tadej Pogacar is 2’40” ahead of Daniel Felipe Martinez and 2’56” over Geraint Thomas who has every interest in setting a good time to maintain a tiny hope of beating the Slovenian at the end of the three weeks of racing.

12:30 – The first departure at 1:40 p.m.

The first rider who will attack this second time trial of the Giro 2024 will be French. Indeed, Alan Riou will leave at 1:40 p.m. One of the big favorites of this time, Filippo Ganna, will leave at 2:35 p.m. before the final explanation after 4 p.m. Tadej Pogacar will bring up the rear at 4:43 p.m.

12:20 – The favorites for the 14th stage of the Giro 2024

If Tadej Pogacar, formidable since the start of the 2024 Giro, still seems to be the big favorite for this 14th stage. The smoother profile of the race could nevertheless allow Filippo Ganna to take his revenge on the first time. The world champion could play spoilsport. Behind some outsiders could have their card to play like Magnus Sheffield, Geraint Thomas or even Thymen Arensman.

12:10 – The route of the 14th stage of the Giro 2024

The riders will today tackle the second time trial of this Giro 2024 eight days after the first won by the impressive Tadej Pogacar. Unlike the latter, this time is much flatter and is shorter at 31.4km.
