Giro d’Italia race director Mauro Vegni has confirmed to Cyclingnews that next year’s race will include three individual time trials. The route will not have a team time trial, although one of the time trials will be a mountain time trial of around 20 kilometres.
Vegni confirmed the news at the Giro d’Italia’s presentation of the route for stage 9 – a 40km time trial through Chianti vineyards.
“You can expect to see a few changes, you can anticipate the Giro not having a team time trial for instance,” Vegni told Cyclingnews.

It will be the first time in 10 years that this has been the case. The official route of the 2016 Giro d’Italia will not be presented until Monday October 5, the day after the Il Lombardia one-day race, but it has already been announced that the race will start in Holland and run from May 6-29.
“We will have three time trials, the first of which is in Holland will be around 11km,” Vegni added.
"The second will be the Chianti time trial, which you’ve just seen and which will be spectacular, and the third time trial will be an uphill mountain time trial of around 20 kilometres.”
