The 2021 Giro d'Italia begins with the stage on individual time trial. A quick 8.6km-long jaunt up the river in Turin to give some early time gaps in the general classification.

Androni's Filippo Tagliani is the first off at 2pm local time, while Alpecin-Fenix's Dries De Bondt will be the final rider off the start ramp at 5.03pm.

Most of the big names are off late, including Movistar's Marc Soler (16.51pm), Deceuninck - Quick-Step's Remco Evenepoel (16.52pm), Ineos' Filippo Ganna (16.53pm), Bahrain's Mikel Landa (16.57pm) and DSM's Romain Bardet at 17.01pm.

Hugh Carthy (EF-Nippo) will begin his campaign at 3.58pm, half an hour before Simon Yates (BikeExchange) at 4.31pm.

Unless you're in the very unlikely position of having a house along the race route (but if you are, well done on your exceptional life choices), here is our guide on how to watch all of the action no matter where you are in the world.

Hi. I'm Cycling Weekly's Weekend Editor. I like writing offbeat features and eating too much bread when working out on the road at bike races.


Before joining Cycling Weekly I worked at The Tab and I've also written for Vice, Time Out, and worked freelance for The Telegraph (I know, but I needed the money at the time so let me live).


I also worked for ITV Cycling between 2011-2018 on their Tour de France and Vuelta a España coverage. Sometimes I'd be helping the producers make the programme and other times I'd be getting the lunches. Just in case you were wondering - Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen had the same ham sandwich every day, it was great.
