Giro d’Italia Teams

184 riders from 23 teams will line up in Budapest for the Grande Partenza of the 2022 Giro d’Italia.

Each of the 23 teams will select eight riders, and, while the official start list has not yet been finalized, the names listed here are those that feature on each team’s preliminary selections.

Of these 23 teams, 19 qualified automatically for the Giro d’Italia by virtue of their WorldTour status, with the other four spots occupied by UCI ProTeams.
