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

Unless you’re a close friend of Davide Bias (EOLO-Kometa), or the man himself, you’ve probably already forgotten about the snoozefest on Stage 7 at the Giro d’Italia. The GC big-hitters rode to the first summit finish together as strong headwinds discouraged attacks, although Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep) dropped a last-gasp dig to suggest he is unhurt from his double crash on Stage 5. 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.

Andreas Leknessund (DSM) will start in the maglia rosa again. The Norwegian leads Evenepoel by 28 seconds in the general classification.
