The Route
The Giro d'Italia includes twenty-one stages, a prologue (an individual time trial of fewer than eight kilometers, and two or three rest days. It is one of the most prestigious three-week-long Grand Tours, including the Tour de France and Vuelta a Espana. In the Giro d'Italia, three types of stages are practiced: mass-start stages, individual time trials, and team time trials.
The 2021 Giro d'Italia will begin in the Piedmont region of northern Italy. In the first week, stage 1st is a 9-kilometer ITT in Turin, with a world time trial challenge to finish in the same location.
Stage 2 is almost exclusively on flat roads, ensuring a showdown between the first and second-place finishers in Novara. The third stage could see a select group sprint to the finish or a thriving attack. The second half of the road is lumpy, and the final hill is top-knotted after 5 kilometers. The route continues south, with many chances for trackers to shine along the way, including Cattolica, Termoli, and Foligno.
The second week launches with a Strade Bianche-style stage between Perugia and Montalcino on unpaved roads, before returning to Bagno di Romagna. This is followed by a flat race between Ravenna and Verona. Then it's on to the Monte Zoncolan, a 10.1 kilometers monster with 11.9 percent peaks reaching 22 percent.
Stage 14 will be the Zoncolan sprint, served by a bumpy test between Grado and Gorizia before stage 15. On the 16th stage, the riders will return to their origins as they travel through the Passo Pardoi, which reaches a height of 2,239 meters, to a downhill finish in Cortina d'Ampezzo.
For the final and last week of competition, a summit finish at the steep Sega di Ala is on the cards of 11.1 kilometers at 9.6 percent. After a 7.4-kilometer climb at 8.3 percent, the Alpe di Mera will serve as the summit finish for stage 19, while the final steep test will be a race with 4,200 vertical meters and a summit finish at the Alpe Motta. The Giro comes to an end with a time trial in Milan.
