Stage 1 preview: Herning, 8.7 km (TT)


May 4 update: A flat 8.7 km time-trial through the streets of Bjarne Riis' hometown, Herning Denmark, will kick off this year's Giro d'Italia. There are eleven 90 degrees corners so it's quite technical especially the first half where the roads are narrow. Sunny but cool is the weather forecast and it will be windy from the NW at 19 mph off the North Sea. — Steve
