The start of the 2012 Giro d'Italia was special for Alex Rasmussen (Garmin-Barracuda) as the opening three stages took place in his native Denmark. Rasmussen placed third in the opening time trial and was well-placed to take over the maglia rosa during the stage 4 team time trial, but unfortunately the 27-year-old Dane fell off the pace on a climb and was dropped by his teammates.
