The Giro is far more than a bike race, it’s a journey of discovery.
Meanwhile, the countdown to the Tour de France is already underway, with Remco Evenepoel one of the first riders to start his altitude training block.
This is the official stage profile and map. Look how long the stage follows the expose coast road.

In Catanzaro the teams have started to sign on, with Picnic first on stage.
Paul Magnier told L’Equipe he will try to survive the climb and so sprint for the stage victory but warned about the cross winds.
“If Vingegaard is in the first echelon and manages to distance Bernal, they’ll go all out on the climb to try and take as much time as possible from him. And that won’t be to my advantage.
If the climb has a tailwind, that won’t be to my advantage either. But I had a good altitude training camp. I don’t feel too bad in the mountains.”
The sun is out in Italy. There is little sign of wind at the start but the forecasts are for a strong headwind for the ride out of Catanzaro.
Philippa York also gave her view on the racing in her Giro d’Italia analysis.
She noted how “The Giro d’Italia is no stranger to a bit of drama, sometimes of an exciting nature and at others excruciatingly painful.”
