It’s that time of year again – Grand Tour season is upon us. And, as has been the case for the last 30 years, the Giro d’Italia is up first for the men.
3413km, 52,500m of climbing including a whole heap of famous mountains – Monte Grappa, Passo di Mortirolo and Colle della Finestre amongst them, and it’s also got some gravel…..
It’s always beautiful, this race, often with extreme weather at either end of the spectrum, and it all kicks off this Friday, 9th May. Here’s the BIG GCN Preview!
