Sobota prinaša še drugi in s tem zadnji kronometer letošnje izvedbe Dirke po Italiji. Prvega je dobil Tadej Pogačar, ki pa bo imel na ravninski trasi precej več konkurence.
Kolesarje tokrat čaka 31,2 kilometra dolga večinoma ravninska trasa. Skupno bo potrebno premagati 250 višinskih metrov (kar je več kot na petkovi 179-kilometrski etapi), a nikakor kronometra ne moremo označiti drugače kot ravninskega.
Sama trasa, ki se konča ob Gardskem jezeru, tudi ni tehnično preveč zahtevna. Z izjemo prvih in zadnjih kilometrov v mestnih središčih, bo kronometer potekal na ravnih cestah, ki kolesarjem ne bi smele predstavljati preveč težav.
Ganna prvi favorit, Pogačar po novo nabirko sekund
Ravninska trasa v vlogo favoritov postavlja nekoliko druga imena, kot jih je prvi kronometer z zaključnim vzponom. Nekaj imen pa se vseeno ponovi in med njimi je zagotovo Filippo Ganna (Ineos Grenadiers).
Ljubljenec domačega občinstva je bil na 7. etapi zelo blizu uspeha, a ga je naposled ugnal Tadej Pogačar (UAE Emirates). Tudi tokrat lahko pričakujemo boj omenjenih kolesarjev, a ravninska trasa nagiba tehtnico v prid Italijana.
Ganna se bo na progo podal kot 56. tekmovalec ob 14.35. Že precej zgodaj bomo torej dobili izjemno konkurenčen rezultat, ki bo merilo vsem tekmecem. Najverjetneje člana Ineos Grenadiers čaka dolg dan na vročem stolu.
Tako kot vsi slovenski navijači bo tudi Ganna čakal nastop Tadeja Pogačarja, ki pa se bo na progo podal kot zadnji. Dolgo bomo torej čakali, da na štartni klančini zagledamo rožnat dres, a ob 16.43 se bo zgodilo prav to.
Že pred tem pa se bodo na traso podali trije Slovenci. Luka Mezgec (Jayco Alula) se bo predstavil prvi izmed trojice. Na progi bo ob 14.27.
Sledil mu bo Domen Novak (UAE Emirates), ki je v skupnem seštevku postavljen nekoliko višje. Njegov štartni čas je 14.56.
Verjetno najbolj pričakovan pa bo nastop Jana Tratnika (Visma-Lease a Bike), ki velja za dobrega kronometrista in bi mu trasa morala odgovarjati. Njegov nastop bomo lahko pospremili ob 15.33.
