Giro d'Italia preview
The Girod d'Italia 2024 will see the riders cycle 3,321km and climb 44,650m before they make it to the end in Rome. Tadej Pogačar is the red-hot favourite to end up with the maglia rosa. This is no small part because rival Jonas Vineguarrd and reigning champion Primož Roglič opted out of the race.
Arguably, the more interesting battle is who will come second in the general classification. Team GB Olympic hero and former Tour de France winner Geraint Thomas, of Ineos Grenadiers, is expected to put up a good fight. There are plenty of time trial stages, in which he tends to excel. A challenge could also come from Decathlon AG2R's Ben O'Connor. Italian Antonio Tiberi (WorldTeam Team Bahrain Victorious) will be hoping the home crowd gets behind him.
The fight for the sprinters' maglia ciclamino is also one to keep an eye on. Exciting prospect Olav Kooji (Visma–Lease a Bike) could make an impact in that battle.
The Giro d’Italia is beloved of cycling purists and it's not hard to see why. We have 21 stages across 23 days to enjoy and endure. These include stunning mountain stages across the Apennines, the Alps and the Dolomites and historic rides through Pompeii. You won’t want to miss any of it. You can take a look at the full Giro d'Italia 2024 route below and all the stage details too.
