Ma che due maroni sentire i telecronisti che Magnificano ogni cosa.
I coraggiosi fuggitivi, La meraviglia delle montagne, che gambe il corridore (scegliere uno a caso tanto il commento lo fanno pe tutti anche per il più scarso).
E ancora, le due ali di folla, i tifosi che accompagnano l'ascesa.
I want to watch stage 19 of the giro with 3 friend, but we don’t know how. Does anybody know if it’s tolerated to sleep the night before the stage on the mountain with a tent and car?
Doesn't anybody else think that the final kilometres of sixth stage were incredibly dangerous? I think it's so irresponsible of the organisation of the race to choose these roads in the final kilometres. It was obvious there was going to be a crash in the bunch. That first turn where halfway the riders turn onto the cobbles it surprised me no one fell. But that last turn where the actual crash happened was also unnecessarily dangerous and was asking for a crash by the organisation. I think this shouldn't be allowed anymore for the safety of the riders.
Just did this climb on ROUVY to get just a little taste of what the Pros experience out there. Always impressed with what these men and women are capable of. All the climbs are on there. ..may try a few more.
I am an American university student studying in Europe this semester. I want to take full advantage of the chance to catch a stage before I go home, but had a few questions, if anyone is able to answer them.
Do I need a pass to be a spectator at the finish line? I know there are hospitality experiences available. As a solo traveler, I would most likely be only viewing the finishes, and would hope I don't need something just to watch the end.
Are there groups that help organize/have information about transfers between stages, or is that hard as a traveler? I have a few days to work with, so could maybe catch Stage 4 and Stage 5.
If anyone has any answers, feel free to respond or reach out to me directly.
A group of friends have rented Palazzo Mannocchi in Petritoli, Italy from May 15th-19th. It’s close to the finish for Stage 7, the route for Stage 8, and 22 minutes from the finish in Fermo. We have a few more rooms available if anyone is looking for accommodations in that area. It’s $150 a night, and available for a single night or multiples during our stay.
My wife and I are going to be in Italy for a long overdue trip to Europe this May and our travel itinerary will overlap with the Giro d’Italia stage 11 from Porcari to Chiavari. I’d like to make plans to go watch the stage finish, but have not found much information online about times/specific location of the finish, etc.
Anyone else have experience watching a Giro stage finish in person and where did you find this specific information? A couple of additional questions I have are:
1.) Is there an advertising caravan similar to the Tour de France where free merch is distributed along the race route and the finish?
2.) is there a team/Giro merch marketplace or something similar at the finish where they’ll be selling jerseys, shirts, hats, etc?
Any info and tips and tricks are appreciated as there doesn’t seem to be a ton of info out there about the Giro and this will be our first time going to see a grand tour stage. Thanks!
I am a bulgarian citizen and I am keen on my country hosting the first stages of Giro! I want to express that roads in my country are hideous compared to the italian roads, onto which I have been driving a car few times. I really hope our ministry of transport do something about it, corruption is leading my country to bad direction and of course roads, which are a basic need, are of course looking like as if a tank brigade went through them. The section between Nessebar through Sarafovo and Burgas is absolutely devastated for many years. It looks like Ukraine road after bombardment, but without having a war. I expect our authorities to do something on time about it. I have houses on the black sea coast, currently living in Sofia, where bike lanes are considered for losers and of course ministry of transport doesn't give a shit about it and doesn't build none, also not repairing broken ones, which is scarce as a count.
Here is a map of our ugly capital.
I really really want the Giro d'Italia to push our stupid ministries into building bicycle roads for us, passionate cyclists, so that we can commute and enjoy our expensive bicycles.
Also to add, I learned italian language in school, speak a little, lo so un po' d'Italiano, and i really like your anthem, "Fratelli d'italia".
My wife and I will be in Milan for vacation (from the U.S.) when the Giro comes to town for stage 15 (Sunday, May 24). We’re avid cycling fans and this could easily be the only time we’re in a city that the Giro is coming through.
So we’re willing to spend a little (or more) to have a great experience and are considering various hospitality options. Has anyone done one of the finish line hospitality options (food, beverage, TVs) or one of the VIP car options where you ride in a car with a former pro and follow the riders?
Any insights and/or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Hi everyone! I’ll be in Rome soon and I’m hoping to pick up some cycling gear, specifically jerseys, cycling caps, and gravel-style bibs. I’d love recommendations for shops (retail or pro bike stores) that carry good apparel and maybe gravel-specific brands or Italian labels.
