The solution lies in the 18.6 kilometers of today’s time trial, where the first eight can be considered ‘flat’, but really starts to look up from kilometer 8 to Sanctuary of Mount Lussari. In the first part, a short climb with a peak of 15% when entering the bike lane is noticeable. After 9.4 km there is a point where runners who consider it can change bikes and, after the bridge over the Saisera stream, the last steep section begins.

The final climb winds through the forest on a narrow, concrete-surfaced road. The first 5 km has an average slope of 15% with peaks over 20%. At the end of the forest there is a short section at 4% to find in the last kilometer a ramp at 20% with peaks of 22% and the last 150 m rise at 16% to the finish line on concrete ground. Almost nothing.

At a glance the leader Thomas He said that “it will be very exciting, very fun to watch but terrible to do”, and Roglic clarified his intentions: “I am confident in my possibilities, otherwise I would not do the test in time.”
