Three editions ago, Richard Carapaz sealed the overall victory at exactly the same spot, while Vincenzo Nibali and Primoz Roglic flanked him on the final podium. The Giro of 1984 and 2010 finished in similar style, respectively with Francesco Moser and Ivan Basso as winner of the maglia rosa.
The route of the time trial is a carbon copy of 2019. The route takes in an intermediate climb on the Via Torricelle – 4.5 kilometres at 4.6% – before a descent along wide roads leads to the finish in the Arena. The time check is located at the summit of the climb.
Chada Hage stormed to the stage honours in 2019, besting Victor Campenaerts and Thomas De Gendt with a time of 22 minutes and 7 seconds.
