The first of the men's Grand Tour this season, the Giro d'Italia, returns for its 108th edition. The 21-stage race is set to kick off May 9 in Albania and travel through Slovenia before moving to mainland Italy for three weeks.
The world's best cyclists will compete for the iconic maglia rosa (pink jersey worn by the tour leader). They will cover a total of 3,413.3km during this period, through the marvelous landscapes, over grueling mountain stages and cutting across historic cities.
Reigning champion Tadej Pogacar won't be defending his title this time as he is focusing his energy on the Tour de France. Former champion Primoz Roglic will headline the field that also includes the up-and-coming Juan Ayuso, who will lead UAE Team Emirates – XRG in Pogacar's absence, and the versatile Tom Piddock.
