Giro d'Italia 2026

The 109th edition of the Giro d'Italia rolls out from Naples on May 8 and finishes three weeks later with the traditional sprint along Rome's Via dei Fori Imperiali on May 31. With a route that climbs more than 50,000 meters and crosses the Stelvio for the first time since 2020, this is one of the most climber-friendly Giri in recent memory.

Route at a glance

The first week stays in the south — Naples, the Adriatic coast, then the first summit finish on Blockhaus in the Apennines. The race head north through Tuscany on a sterrato stage that revisits the white roads of Strade Bianche, before the time trial in Verona splits the GC for the first time.

The second week is brutal: a 4,800m queen stage to Bormio over the Mortirolo and Stelvio (the Cima Coppi at 2,758m), then a back-to-back day climbing the Passo Gavia and finishing atop the Aprica. The third week trades altitude for relentlessness, with three Dolomite stages including a return to the Tre Cime di Lavaredo.
