With the help of Robby Ketchell, acclaimed mastermind for the TTT, GCN goes behind the scenes at stage 2 of the Giro d'Italia to find out how the teams approach such a technical and demanding course.

Team Sky Directeur Sportif Dan Hunt explains how they videos the course weeks previously to find out what's in store for the riders. Alex Dowsett of Team Movistar explains it from a rider's eye view, as does David Millar of Garmin-SHARP.

It's an eyeopening video, delving into this secret discipline.
