By David Hunter Alcamo > Agrigento 149km For some reason, the Giro organisers love to include the map across two pages in the road book!

By David Hunter Monument time.

By David Hunter Monreale > Palermo 15.1km The Giro begins with a quick blast.

By David Hunter Ottignies-Louvain-la-Neuve > Geraardsbergen 187.5km The race ends with the usual stage in Geraardsbergen.

By David Hunter Out goes the flat 11km TT, in comes a lumpy 8.1km TT. Not what Stefan Küng would have wanted to hear. As soon as the riders leave the start gate they are faced with the climb which is 700m at 7.3%.

By David Hunter The Tour might just be finished, but it’s time for the Giro. Weather Having the race in October will clearly have a huge impact on the race, especially the mountain stages in the final week. With snow already falling, we’ll have to see if those stages go ahead as planned, keep your fingers…

By David Hunter Aalter > Aalter 157km The organisers have moved fast after the Dutch authorities banned the race; I think they deserve a round of applause. We now have seven circuits of the lap in Aalter. Please note, the finishing straight is the same as last year, but not the rest of the lap.

By David Hunter Vlissingen 11km ITT A big moment in the GC battle.
