Hello everyone and welcome to another video here on the Cycling Dane Exit channel and today we’re continuing our stage previews of the 2025 Jurro Datalia and stage 10 of the Jirro is a crucial 28.6 km individual time trial stretching between the historic cities of Luca and Pisa. Unlike the hilly terrain that often characterizes the Jurro, this stage is a pure test of power aerodynamics on a virtually flat course, demanding riders to push their limits on the big ring from start to finish. The Patenta takes place in Luca, a charming Tuscan city renowned for its wellpreserved renaissance city walls that encircles its historic center. Luca’s rich history dates back to the Roman times and its narrow winding streets within the walls off a picturesque contrast to the open rows of the time trial course. While Lucas hosted a stage finish last year, favoring a breakaway on a flat finale, this time the focus shifts entirely to the individual effort against the clock. Riders will depart from a location within or near the city’s historic confines, embarking on a road where every second counts. The route heads southwest from Luca towards its iconic neighbor Pisa with only minor undulations unlikely to significantly impact the rider’s speed. This parkour will reward the pure time trial specialists, those with exceptional power output and most aerodynamic setups. There will be two intermediate time checks along the way, providing crucial snapshots of the rider’s progress and allowing for real-time analysis of the gaps. The first check comes at 8.4 km, offering an early indication of who has started strong. The second checkpoint at 20.5 will provide more of a significant gauge of each rider’s pacing. The finish line is dramatically situated in Pisa in the shadow of the world famous leaning tower. However, in before the riders get there, there is a bit of a crucial navigation for them. As in the last 3 km, the riders will have a slight 45° turn before a 90° turn after they cross the river. And within the last 2 km, there are two more sharp turns for them to come back on to cross the river yet again. And then right after the 1 km mark, they have another sharp turn to the right as they come down the Via Santa Maria. And there they will have somewhat of a meandering course before they get to the final finish line. The leaning tower of Pisa is an iconic landmark and a symbol of Italy and a UNESCO world heritage site and will be providing a stunning drop back for the conclusion of the time trial. Pisa, a city with powerful maritime history, will welcome the riders after their intense solo effort and a flat runin to the finish. In Pisa will likely see riders pushing every last watt in a final sprint to the finish line. Looking back at previous jury, the time trial offered contrasting challenges. The first finishing uphill favored the climbers with strong time triing abilities and stage 10 of the 2025 Jirro is firmly in the latter category promising a battle of raw power and aerodynamic efficiency. The first stage of the Jirro, we saw a very close battle between Josh Tarling and Primos Rugglitch with only a second between them. And it will be interesting to see if Josh Tarling can continue that epic form that he showed. And maybe maybe he will been given a bit of rest by the team to be able to do this. It is a longer effort. The other one in Toronto was 13.7 km, but the terrain is fairly similar in nature with a small incline in the middle and Josh Tarling did very well there and hopefully he won’t be getting a draft this time. But Primos Rugglitch eager to take time on rivals will certainly be looking to try and do something here to capitalize on his performance and as we know he’s already won four time trials in his career and this one could be one he could add once more. Jvine as well is a very good time trialist and did a third place after crashing. So he could definitely be stronger in this one and equally Eduardo Afini wants to represent the home nation and do a good time trial if he can or even Juanuzo if he can find that TT form that we’ve seen him do so many times in Switzerland. But there are plenty of good time trialists. However, I think it might be fairly similar to the top 10 that we had in the stage 2 time trial. but it is a longer time trial and favors riders like Josh Tarling. Anyways, with that, that’s basically it for this video.

But for now, thank you for watching, and I will see you around. [Music]

Rain,cross wind,worse for late starters.
The Promoz strikes back ? .
He's now the underdog. UAE has the best odds for victory and even multiple podium spots.
