Your complete guide to watching the Giro d’Italia, with details including dates, times and the full schedule for each stage.
The Giro d’Italia has arrived, with a typically gruelling, twisting and turning road ahead for the riders in 2024.
Think Italy, think mountains. The Giro is full of them. Over 21 stages, the finest cyclists in the world will ascend almost 43,000 metres.
Astonishingly, that’s 9,000 metres below recent years, with fewer mountain stages included in 2024, but the route will still put riders to the ultimate test.
