Zadnje dejanje letošnje dirke Tirreno-Adriatico se bo odvilo v San Bennedetu ob Jadranskem morju. Kolesarje čaka 10,1 kilometra dolga, povsem ravninska posamična vožnja na čas. Tadej Pogačar bo na njej branil minuto in petnajst sekund prednosti pred Woutom van Aertom.
Slovenski čudežni deček je tik pred drugo skupno zmago v letošnji sezoni. Po UAE Touru bo skušal na svoj račun premierno zapisati še dirko dveh morij. Zdi se, da mu to lahko prepreči le smola, saj je današnja trasa prekratka za »naravno« ustvarjanje večjih razlik.
Prvi favorit za etapno zmago je zagotovo v zadnjem času nepremagljivi Filippo Ganna (Ineos Grenadiers). Nepremagan je že na zadnjih osmih kronometrih in ta uspeh bo danes skušal še podaljšati. Italijan je zadnjo etapo Tirreno-Adriatica, ki je bila identična kot letos, osvojil že lani.
Na štartu je še nekaj izjemnih kronometristov, ki bodo danes skušali s prestola vreči Ganno. Izpostaviti je potrebno evropskega prvaka v vožnji na čas Stefana Künga (Groupama-FDJ), Jonathana Castrovieja (Ineos Grenadiers), pa Gerainta Thomasa (Ineos Grenadiers), ki v generalni razvrstitvi na tej dirki ni imel resnih ambicij.
Slovenci bomo danes zelo pozorno spremljali tudi Jana Tratnika (Bahrain Victorious), ki kronometer označuje za svojo paradno disciplino. V boj s štoparico se bo podal kot prvi izmed Slovencev. S štartne klančine bo zapeljal kot štirinajsti ob 13.13.
Pred nastopom Tadeja Pogačarja bomo pozorni še na dve slovenski vožnji. Luka Mezgec (BikeExchange) in Jan Polanc (UAE Emirates) sta sicer svoje delo na dirki že končala in danes resnih ambicij nimata. Na progo se bosta podala ob 14.15 in 14.24.
Čisto na koncu razpredelnice pa najdemo vodilnega v skupnem seštevku Tadeja Pogačarja (UAE Emirates). Danes bo na progo zapeljal ob 15.58, dve minuti za glavnim izzivalcem Woutom van Aertom (Jumbo-Visma). Oba kolesarja sta zelo dobra kronometrista in se lahko vmešata tudi v boj za etapno zmago, a predvsem Pogačar ima v mislih ohranitev vodilnega položaja in osvojitev skupne zmage.
