Giro d’Italia stage 14 time trial start times

The Giro d'Italia, up to this point, has not really seen any big changes in the general classification, aside from riders losing time due to illness, crashes and mechanicals, so this time trial could see the first real reshuffle.

João Almeida (Deceuninck - Quick-Step) has looked solid up to now only losing a bit of time on stage nine to Roccaraso, which moved Wilco Kelderman (Team Sunweb) to 30 seconds, it later moved out to 40 seconds thank to bonus seconds Almeida picked up a couple days later.

Kelderman probably has the best chance to gain time on the young Portuguese rider along with the Spanish time trial champion, Pello Bilbao (Bahrain-McLaren), who is third overall at just 49 seconds down.

Almeida, though, isn't a bad time trialer. He showed that on stage one with a fantastic second place just 22 seconds behind the favourite for the stage, World Champion in the time trial, Filippo Ganna (Ineos Grenadiers).

Ganna will be hoping that he can put in another amazing performance on his golden Pinarello bike after dominating on stage one before taking a magnificent solo win on stage five.

Riders that we would expect to challenge are Victor Campenaerts (NTT Pro Cycling), Alex Dowsett (Israel Start-Up Nation) and Ganna's team-mates, Rohan Dennis and Jonathan Castroviejo, but with the course's hill profile, it is possibly more suited to a climber who can time trial well.

The route isn't a straightforward time trial by any stretch of the imagination. An undulating 34.1km route from Conegliano to Valdobbiadene with three time checks.

The first of those time checks comes after just 7.4km but, it is at the top of a 1.1km climb of the Muro di Ca'del Poggio, which averages 12.3 per cent in gradient, with it's steepest kicks at 19 per cent.

The course flattens out after that up until just after the third time check with 25.1km ridden where the road starts to climb, not at the same sort of gradients as the first climb but could really drain the legs before descending down to the last 400 metres where it starts to climb again to the line.

Here are all the start times for the stage 14 time trial...
