Čas je za prvega izmed dveh kronometrov letošnje Dirke po Italiji. Slovenci jo bomo pospremili z obilico zanimanja, saj vloga favorita pripada Tadeju Pogačarju.
V osrčju Italije se bodo kolesarji udarili na 40,6 kilometra dolgi trasi, ki bo v zadnjih šestih kilometrih postregla z vzponom in povsem premešala razmerja moči s prvega dela.
Klanec se bo začel s peklenskim 1,3-kilometrskim odsekom, ki ponuja povprečni naklon 11,8 %, na najstrmejšem delu pa doseže celo 16 %. Nemara je prekratek, da bi se kolesarji odločili za menjavo kolesa, vsekakor pa nikomur tam ne bo lahko.
Do cilja bo z vrha najstrmejšega odseka še kar nekaj trase, ki se bo ves čas rahlo vzpenjala. Prednost bodo tu vsekakor imeli hribolazci, ki se znajdejo na kronometrskem kolesu, med katere sodi tudi Tadej Pogačar.
Pogačar na progo kot zadnji
Dogajanje na 7. etapi se bo začelo 10 minut čez 13. uro. Kot prvi se bo predstavil Julius van den Berg, za prve konkurenčne čase pa bomo morali počakati slabe pol ure, ko se bo na progo najprej podal Eduardo Affini, kmalu za njim pa še nekdanji svetovni prvak Tobias Foss.
Slovenski navijači bomo jasno najtežje čakali nastope naših rojakov. Najprej se bo predstavil Domen Novak (14.26), nato pa še Luka Mezgec (14.28), a nobeden ne namerava napadati vidnega rezultata.
Precej drugače pa bomo pospremili nastop Jana Tratnika, našega specialista za vožnjo na čas, ki se bo na progo podal ob 14.54.
Zadnjega Slovenca bomo nato čakali kar nekaj časa. Tadej Pogačar bo kot nosilec rožnate majice nastopil kot zadnji. Na vrhu štartne klančine ga pričakujemo ob 16.24, tri minute za verjetno največjim konkurentom Geraintom Thomasom.
