Prologue - May 8: Genova ITT, 6.9 Km
The 87th Giro will kick off with a fast, flat and winding prologue time trial to determine the first Maglia Rosa. The 6.9km course winds through the centro storico of the Ligurian port city where Cristoforo Colombo set sail for America 513 years prior.
Starting in the Piazza della Vittoria, the 15 turn course will favour a specialist like '03 TdF prologue winner Brad McGee (FDJ.Com) or a young gun like Colnago's Tomas Vaitkus, but watch our for massive Magnus Backstedt (Alessio-Bianchi) of Paris-Roubaix glory, Lampre powerhouse Rubens Bertogliati, Chocolate Jacques' Flo Brard or even Mr. Mario Cipollini, who's no slouch in these type of short, fast prologue.
