Time trials don’t always make for the most stunning television spectacle, but stage 2 of the Giro d’Italia could be an exception to that norm.
A tight and twisting 9.2km test through downtown Budapest brings a battery of 90-degree corners, a tricky uphill finish, and a sprinkling of cobblestones for good measure.
Team directors forecast up to 30 seconds could be gained or lost in what will be a red-hot race through the historic city streets. With Mathieu van der Poel nursing just a four-second GC lead, the pink jersey is there to play for.
