technical info
A very fast time trial with a small intermediate climb (not classified as a KOM). The route roughly retraces the 1977 time trial won by Knudsen. Starting with a half lap of the Lucca walls (as in the 1984 prologue), it then heads towards Pisa via the Foro di San Giuliano and San Giuliano Terme. Riders follow the Medicean aqueduct to reach River Arno and finally finish next to the Leaning Tower in Piazza dei Miracoli.
