The chronometric detection is positioned at Valentino Castle-Medieval Village, exactly at kilometer 3.7. We will therefore walk along gods undulating avenues, then cross the Po, cross Ponte Umberto I, and finish the time trial on Corso Moncalieripractically under the Hill of Superga.

Speaking of the favorites of the day, the aforementioned world champion of time trials Filippo Ganna (Ineos Grenadiers) he is the very first candidate to conquer the Turin time trial.
