Before transferring to Darfo Boario Terme for the road race, the women will also make an appearance at the National Championships in Friuli Venezia Giulia for the time trial challenge, to determine who will wear the national champion jersey in the time trial that will open the Giro d'Italia Women next week.

The course is exactly the same as the men's: starting from Morsano and reaching San Vito al Tagliamento after 28 km, on a completely flat route with some tricky turns that also pass through the towns of Cordovado, Bando, Carbona, San Paolo, and Braida Bottari just before the finish.

There will be 21 athletes competing for the national jersey, but the big favorites are the two who will be the last to hit the road, Elisa Longo Borghini (UAE Team ADQ) at 1:19 PM, hunting for her eighth national time trial title, and Vittoria Guazzini (GS Fiamme Oro) at 1:20 PM, the defending champion.

Just before them, an interesting quartet likely to medal will start, including Silvia Persico (UAE Team ADQ), Alessia Vigilia (FDJ-SUEZ), Federica Venturelli (UAE Devo), and Gaia Masetti (AG Insurance Soudal). The first to start will be Noemi Lucrezia Eremita (Born to Zhiraf BTC Ljubljana) at 1 PM, with starts following every minute.
