The Giro d’Italia always kick-starts the grand tour season in stunning fashion as action-packed racing combines with beautiful scenery.
In the fight for the iconic pink jersey, a wide-open contest is expected with several GC riders arriving at the race with a realistic shot at victory. Many have picked 2019 champion Richard Carapaz (Ineos Grenadiers) as the big favorite, but the likes of Iván Sosa (Movistar), Simon Yates (BikeExchange-Jayco), and Romain Bardet (Team DSM) are hot on his heels.
For the sprints, there is a whole host of star names, including Mark Cavendish (Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl), Caleb Ewen (Lotto Soudal), and Biniam Girmay (Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert). Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Fenix) also makes his debut at the race.
