Giro d'Italia 2024

THE GRAND DEPART

THE ROUTE

The 2024 Giro d'Italia will include two time trials (of 40.6km and 31.2km), 11.6 m of Strade Bianche gravel sections on stage 6 and six mountain top finishes.

The riders face three weeks of racing. However, RCS Sport have finally followed other Grand Tour and reduced stage distances to try to make the daily racing more exciting, with only four stages over 200km and many around 160km.

WHAT IS ON THE LINE?

MAGLIA ROSA

It’s been the leader’s jersey since 1931. A world icon. A page made of pink fabric, where the history of cycling has been written over the past 90 years.It’s the dream of every child who starts riding a bicycle. It’s the dream of every rider taking to the start of the Giro d’Italia every year.

MAGLIA AZZURRA

Unsurprisingly, the best climber’s jersey is as blue as the sky.Because when you’re pushing to the KOM and you feel that strength is failing, the blue sky above becomes your guiding light, your aim, the goal that keeps you going. And a patch of sky will be the reward.

MAGLIA CICLAMINO

Awarded to the leader of the points classification, this jersey is usually a sprinters’ thing.Flashing as a powerful sprint, yet as gentle as hope, it bears the colour of a fall-blooming flower. It represents the determination and grit it takes to be at the front every time, at each intermediate sprint, at each bunch sprint, to and through the final stage.

MAGLIA BIANCA

The jersey for the best young rider is white, just like the sum of all colours. It holds all hopes and dreams.It is, at once, a prize and a wish. A blank page for a new, exciting chapter to be written.

TEAM CLASSIFICATION

Although there is no Jersey for the Team Classification award, there is a strong competition each year for the red labelled numbering as the peloton competes to finish the entire race in the quickest combined time, come the finish line in Verona.
