Today begins the 2025 edition of the Giro d'Italia, the professional road cycling stage race that started in 1909. The leader of the Giro wears the pink jersey in honor of the color of Italy's most important sports newspaper, La Gazzetta dello Sport. The race allows you to experience beautiful landscapes across Italy, where athletes are hosted, an extraordinary spectacle that every year celebrates the beauty of our country.

Sometimes, the Giro d'Italia starts abroad, and this year it will be the case again, with the first three stages taking place in Albania. There will be 21 stages in the Giro, including six flat stages for sprinters, eight medium mountain stages, five high mountain stages (with three summit finishes), and two time trials, for a total of nearly 3500 kilometers.
