Nearly 200 of cycling's best and brightest riders will speed through the Italian countryside over the next month in the Giro d'Italia – the first cycling Grand Tour of 2026.
The three-week race will start in Nesebar, on the Black Sea coast in Bulgaria, before heading to Italy and working its way to the finale in Rome at the end of May.
In the absence of Tadej Pogacar, all eyes will be on favourite Jonas Vingegaard as he looks to join the exclusive club of riders who have won all three Grand Tours.
