Giro d'Italia 2020: Rider start times for the opening stage one time trial

The opening stage of the 2020 Giro d'Italia is a 15.1km time trial from Monreale to Palermo on the Mediterranean island of Sicily.

The course starts with a downhill before levelling off towards the finish, with world time trial champion Filippo Ganna (Ineos) hotly tipped to take the maglia rosa at his home Grand Tour and delight Italian fans.

For the overall contenders, the day will end with time gaps. Ganna's team-mate Geraint Thomas is relishing a Grand Tour with three time trials, while Mitchelton-Scott's Simon Yates says the course is the "worst time trial I could ever imagine". Oh, and be on the lookout for EF's duck helmets.

British time trial champion Alex Dowsett (Israel Start-Up Nation) is the first off the start ramp at 13:15:00 CET), while Bora-Hansgrohe's Rafał Majka will be the last to set off at 16:10:00, with all 176 riders setting off a minute apart.
