The Grande Partenza of the 109th edition of the Giro d’Italia will take place in Bulgaria on Friday 8 May 2026, with the race finishing in Rome on Sunday 31 May. In the opening week, the Blockhaus provides the first major climb, while the second week features a tough climbing stage in and around the Aosta Valley. The final week includes a Swiss excursion and the run to the steep Piani di Pezzè looks, on paper, like an absolute killer. There is only one ITT, but it’s a long one. (Slideshow route/profile)
