High notes – The defining climbs of the 2024 Giro d’Italia

Every kilometre counts at the Giro d’Italia, but some weigh a little heavier than others. The race can be lost on any given day, of course, but much of the winning of it takes place when the road rises.

Not every climb is created equal, but every one of them has a story to add to the narrative of the Giro, from mighty mountain passes in the Alps to punchy ascents to hilltop villages in central Italy.
