What we said about the stage beforehand

Stage 1 of the Giro d’Italia Women opens with a 13.6 km individual time trial in Bergamo. The course is technical and fast, featuring wide urban roads, tight U-turns and sweeping corners. Riders face a short climb near the historic upper town before descending back into the city. The finish line is set on the iconic Sentierone, a central promenade in Bergamo.
