Start Times & Order Gran Camino 2026 Stage 1 time trial: When Adam Yates and Ivan Romeo begin their race against the clock

The opening stage of Gran Camiño 2026 gets underway with a 15km individual time trial in A Coruna, and the full start times and order are now confirmed below.

Racing begins at 14:51 CET with the early starters, before building towards a late run of GC contenders, with the final rider rolling down the ramp at 16:50 CET.

At just 15 kilometres, this is a short but important test to open the race. The coastal setting in A Coruna brings the possibility of wind exposure, while the technical nature of the course means it is not simply a straightforward power effort.

With limited opportunities to gain time later in the week, even small gaps here could shape the early general classification.

Many of the main names are scheduled towards the end of the order, ensuring the stage builds towards a strong finale. Adam Yates is set to start at 15:52 CET as one of the leading contenders for overall victory, while Nelson Oliveira follows later at 16:05 CET as one of the strongest specialists in the field.

Further down the order, Ivan Romeo rolls out at 16:44 CET with ambitions both for the stage and the overall, before Julius Johansen closes the stage as the final starter at 16:50 CET.

With conditions potentially shifting throughout the afternoon, timing could play a role alongside outright performance as Gran Camiño begins.
