Giro d'Italia Writers

Andrew Hood

Andrew Hood, aka “EuroHoody,” is European editor for Velo. Since joining the title in 2002, he’s been chasing bike races all over the world. He’s covered dozens of editions of the spring classics and the Tour de France, Giro d’Italia, and Vuelta a España, as well as numerous world championships in road, track, and mountain biking. He’s also covered six Olympic Games and reported on bike races across six continents. Beyond the Outside cycling network, his work has appeared in The New York Times, Sports Illustrated, ESPN, Outside, SKITraveler Magazine, Washington Post, Dallas Morning News, and Denver Post. He’s a voting member of the Velo d’Or prize committee, and he’s appeared on CNN, NBC, NPR, and BBC. Chances are, if there’s a bike race, EuroHoody’s been to it, or will be going soon.

Jim Cotton

Jim is a UK-based editor and reporter focusing on road racing, training, and nutrition. He’s developed a bank of experience working on the ground at all three grand tours, Paris-Roubaix, Tour of Flanders, Strade Bianche, road worlds, and many more prestigious races. Additionally, Jim writes the ‘Behind the Ride’ series of features that digs into how riders in the pro peloton have become the best in the world. It’s a wide-ranging column that’s covered diet, training, recovery, altitude camps, and a lot more. And when he’s not working? After a few decades of mostly dismal results, he’s hung up the wheels on his bike racing career. Instead, now, he’s a trail / ultra racer… but don’t hold that against him.

Shane Stokes

Shane Stokes has written about pro cycling for over 25 years, covering grand tours, world championships, Classics and other major events during that time. He’s been the Irish Times cycling correspondent for over two decades, appeared regularly on that country’s national broadcaster RTE in analyzing the sport, and contributed to Velo and many of the sport’s international outlets. When not writing about cycling he’s happiest in nature on a sunny day, particularly with a dog or two in tow.

Alvin Holbrook

Alvin is a tech editor for Velo, where he covers road, gravel, and e-bikes after nearly a decade in the bike industry. In addition, he uses his background in urban planning to cover stories around active transportation, policy, tech, and infrastructure through the Urbanist Update series. He currently lives in the Bay Area with his wife and an ever-growing stable of bikes and kitchen utensils. Meet Alvin

Will Tracy

Will Tracy is a San Francisco based editor interested in all things cycling. Since getting his start in cycling journalism with Peloton Magazine, he has reported from the Tour de France; the Taipei Cycle, Eurobike, and Sea Otter trade shows; and covered the biggest events in gravel racing including Unbound and SBT GRVL. When not biking, he stays active with climbing and running and likes to take photos, cook, and serially dabble in new hobbies.

Josh Ross

Josh hails from the Pacific Northwest but when it’s time to ride, hot and dry is better than cold and wet. He will happily talk for hours about the minutiae of cycling tech but understands most people just want things to work. He is a road cyclist at heart and doesn’t care much if those roads are paved, dirt, or digital. Although he rarely races, if you ask him to ride from sunrise to sunset, and beyond, the answer is always yes.

Giro organizers are promising the most comprehensive coverage in race history this month across various platforms, including TV, streaming, social media, and live updates. Here’s the updated list of TV and streaming access: USA: The race will be carried on Max. Canada: FloBikes will stream the full race. UK: Eurosport and Discovery+ will carry the race.
