Giro d'Italia 2023 Stage 8: Preview, how to watch, TV and live stream details, route map and profile, when race starts

Ad Will Stage 8 be more exciting? With a 30.7km individual time trial to come on Sunday, the likes of Evenepoel, Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) and Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers) are likely to keep their powder dry, but we should get plenty of action from the stage hunters in the finale.
