Watch Giro d'Italia live stream 2026
The Giro d'Italia 2026 will see the riders cycle 3,468km and climb 48,700m before they make it to the end in Rome. The biggest storyline heading into this year’s race is whether the 29-year-old Dane Jonas Vingegaard can complete the Grand Tour set on his Giro debut, and with the absence of Tadej Pogačar, it looks extremely likely that he will become the eighth man to win all three Grand Tours.
