BARCELONA. The 102nd edition of the Giro d’Italia kicks off on Saturday, May 11 in Bologna with an 8-kilometer time trial stage that will allow you to check the fitness of the registered participants. The Giro 2019 consists of 21 stages and two days of rest and will end in Verona, with another individual time trial, on Sunday, June 2.
The Giro d’Italia starts with a spectacular time trial that will end at around eight in the evening.
In total the Italian race has three stages against the clock, totaling almost 60 kilometers in this specialty. Without the winner of last year (Chris Froome) or the world champion Alejandro Valverde, in the last hours the absence of the Colombian Egan Bernal was added, one of the great a priori attractions.
Yes they will be, like most outstanding figures, Tom Dumoulin (winner in 2017), Simon Yates, Miguel Angel Lopez, Mikel Landa and Primoz Roglic. (lavanguardia.com)
