Giro d’Italia – where and when
If you intend to watch the Giro d’Italia from the comfort of your own home, you’re in luck, it’s being broadcast around the globe across various networks – keep reading to see where.
The action runs from Saturday, May 11 in Bologna and concludes on Sunday, June 2 in Verona across 21 gruelling stages in all.
In its 102nd year, the Giro is still as tough as ever with a mighty 21 stages covering 3,518.5 kilometres in just 23 days of riding. If that doesn’t make your knees ache to read, they will at the three time trials, the five high difficulty stages and the mighty summit finishes.
Last year saw the UK’s Chris Froome (Team Ineos) win the Giro d’Italia with Tom Dumoulin (Team Sunweb) and Miguel Ángel López (Astana) not far behind. It was Froome’s climbing wins that set him in good stead for the overall victory after summiting both Zoncolan and the Jafferau as winner. The latter was stunning with a 3-minute lead win after an 80km solo lead.
This year has a lot to live up to. Froome will have to fight hard to defend his title against previous champions with the 2017 winner Dumoulin and two-time winner Vincenzo Nibali (Bahrain-Merida) both back and aiming for the win. Simon Yates (Mitchelton-Scott) is also one to watch as a three stage winner last year. Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) has been doing well at the start of the season so far while Egan Bernal (Ineos) and Mikel (Landa Movistar) are also worth keeping an eye on.
So how can you enjoy all the tarmac-eating action? Read on to find out as we tell you the best options to live stream the Giro d’Italia. And the best bit is it’s possible to do so absolutely free from some locations.
