Stage 2 of the Giro d'Italia moved from sprint mode to time trial mode as riders tackled 9.2km of flat, fast individual time in central Budapest.
Mathieu Van der Pol (Alpecin-Phoenix) will be one of the last from the start after an impressive victory on the opening stage's climb to the Visegrad Citadel.
The race leader will be chasing Intermarque Wantigover's Biniam Guillemay, who finished second in the first stage.
Overall contenders Richard Calapaz (Ineos Grenadiers), Simon Yates (Bike Exchange), and Romain Bardet (Team DSM) will be the last finishers to hit the course after 4:20pm.
Stage 2 is one of three stages of the Giro d'Italia in Hungary, with a rest day on Monday.
