Giro d'Italia 2021: Rider start times for the opening stage one time trial
An 8.6km route will decide the first wearer of the maglia rosa
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.
