Looking at the height profile, most ITT specialists will be grueling, but for Primoz Roglic it’s a different story. The former ski jumper found himself this Giro as a brilliant time trialist, yet he is a good climber also, which showed in the hilly time trial last Sunday when he powered to victory.
In 2013 Vincenzo Nibali took the mountain ITT in the Giro d’Italia. That course was twice as long and he put 1’25” and 1’26” into this year’s rivals Majka and Uran. That said, Roglic, Zakarin, Kruiswij, Valverde and Chaves were not at the start back then.
