Grande Prémio Anicolor

The race is usually won by a rider who can handle both the climbs and the time trial. Expect at least one or two stages with meaningful elevation, often featuring short, punchy climbs rather than long alpine ascents. The time trial is typically the decisive stage, and riders who lose significant time there rarely recover the jersey. The opening stages can be nervous, with positioning and bonus seconds mattering more than they might in a longer tour. If a climber takes time early, the key question is whether they can limit losses in the race against the clock. If a time trialist leads, the key question is whether the hills are steep enough to crack them before the final day.
