Today, Friday 10 May, the Foligno-Perugia takes place, a time trial valid for stage number seven of the 2024 Giro d’Italia. There are 40.6 kilometers to go that will rewrite the general classification, and after six absolutely splendid but expensive stages it will be interesting to see if the fatigue will be felt and what difference there will be among those who want to get their hands on the Trofeo Senza Fine. For the partial victory there is only one favourite, Filippo Ganna.
A tantalizing and non-trivial journey. as in all the six days experienced so far in the 107th edition of the Corsa Rosa. The first 34 kilometers of this time trial are practically all flat, in which time trial specialists will find fertile ground for their wheels. But after the second halftime, the story changes radically. Casaglia climb of 1300 meters at almost 12% with gradients of up to 16% to climb towards Perugiathen the road will continue to go uphill for some stretches, even reaching 11%, alternating with slightly downhill stretches until you reach the center of the Umbrian capital.
Filippo Ganna is the number one candidate for victory. The blue can really make a gap in the kilometers purely for specialists, and then in any case he has shown that he is going strong uphill. For success the blue will have to deal with teammate Magnus Sheffield, but there are no time trialists at the start who show up with the same palmares as the former world champion. Another one who could do well is the Dane Mikkel Bjergalthough he probably might not go all out to save energy for the captain Tadej Pogacar. Well, it’s the Slovenian who is the most scary of all, who is still very strong against the clock. The overall challenge with Geraint Thomas was interesting, while Antonio Tiberi appears aggressive on the platform, which finds fertile ground for him to start the comeback in the rankings.
The official start of the first rider of the time trial valid for the seventh stage of the Giro d’Italia 2024 will be at 1.00 pm, while the arrival time of the Maglia Rosa is scheduled for 5.10 pm.
