Con una contrarreloj individual de 15.1 kilómetros entre Monreale y Palermo, este sábado se pone en marcha la 103ª edición del Giro de Italia, prueba en la que algunos de los principales especialistas buscarán marcar la diferencia, con el incentivo de recibir en el podio la primera ‘Maglia Rosa’.

El primer corredor en tomar la partida será el británico Alex Dowsett (Israel Start-Up Nation) que lo hará a las 6:15 a.m. Para concluir con el polaco Rafał Majka (BORA-Hansgrohe) que hará lo propio a 9:10 a.m. hora colombiana.

Fernando Gaviria (UAE Team Emirates)será el primer colombiano en ascender a la rampa de lanzamiento este sábado, el antioqueño lo hará a las 6:50 a.m. Mientras que Einer Rubio (Movistar Team) lo hará cuatro minutos después (6:54 a.m.).

Posteriormente lo harán Sebastián Molano (UAE Team Emirates) a las 7:12 a.m., Rodrigo Contreras (Astana) a las 7:28 a.m. y su compañero Miguel Ángel López (Astana) a las 8:34 a.m. Para concluir la participación colombiana con Jhonatan Restrepo (Androni Giocattoli) que saldrá a las 8:43 a.m. y Álvaro Hodeg (Deceuninck-Quick Step) que hará lo propio a las 9:01 a.m.

Los aspirantes a la primera ‘Maglia Rosa’

Sin lugar a dudas, el INEOS Grenadiers es el equipo que aporta un mayor número de corredores para la disputa de la prueba a cronometro inicial. El conjunto británico, que tendrá a los campeones mundiales de las últimas tres últimas ediciones Rohan Dennis y Filippo Ganna que viene de exhibirse en Imola y lucirá por primera ocasión el ‘Maillot Arcoíris’.

Para no dejar dudas de que la primera ‘Maglia Rosa’ tiene grandes opciones de quedar en manos de INEOS emergen dos especialistas más, sumados a Dennis y Ganna, el español Jonathan Castroviejo y el jefe de filas de la escuadra y gran aspirante al título Geraint Thomas, que busca marcar las primeras diferencias sobre sus principales contendores.

Steven Kruijswijk (Jumbo Visma) es otro de los favoritos a la victoria final que aspira a estar en la disputa de la jornada a cronometro, al igual que Brandon Mcnulty (UAE Team Emirates) que fue subcampeón Mundial Sub 23 de la especialidad en 2017 y el vigente recordista de la hora Victor Campenaerts (NTT Pro Cycling) que fue octavo en la cita orbital el jueves anterior.
