The essential

  • The 3rd stage of the Giro this Monday, May 6 is 166 kilometers long between Novara, the second largest city in Piedmont after Turin, and Fossano.

  • Sunday May 5, Tadej Pogacar has already splashed this Tour of Italy with his talent by winning solo and taking the leader’s pink jersey.
