The Giro d’Italia will start on Saturday May 6 with an inaugural time trial and will arrive in Rome on Sunday May 28. Several riders claim final victory in this Giro 2023 including Primoz Roglic and Remco Evenepoel.
The Giro will start on Saturday May 6 with an inaugural time trial from Fossacesia Marina to Ortona. From the first stage there will be mountain points to grab. The riders will then commit to three weeks of racing with a few climbs from Sunday 7 and Monday 8 May. The race will then intensify through the Apennines where serious gaps could be created between stage 4 on Tuesday May 9 and that of stage 7 on Friday May 12 with a finish with great fanfare at the top of the Gran Sasso d ‘Italy. The peloton will find some respite with two less mountainous stages, one of which is flat before returning to hilly roads with tough climbs until Saturday 27 May. The penultimate stage will be a demanding time trial with a climb in the final, the day before the finish in Rome.
In this round there will be tough competition with a highly anticipated duel between Primoz Roglic and Remco Evenepoel. The two men have already fought some great battles. Last year, for example, the Belgian rider won the Vuelta ahead of the Slovenian. Roglic got his revenge in March 2023 by dominating his rival in the Tour of Catalonia. This year, the Jumbo-Visma rider also won the Tirreno-Adriatico. Evenepoel meanwhile took the turn of the United Arab Emirates. The confrontation seems inevitable. But before the start, there were some changes in Roglic’s formation. The leader was to be accompanied by Tobias Foss (9th in 2021) and Robert Gesink who alone participated in 21 grand tours. His two partners caught Covid-19 and were replaced by Rohan Dennis and Dutchman Jos van Emden. The two patients were very experienced cyclists with essential profiles on a tour like Italy. Foss was the world time trial champion in 2022 and Gesink is a climber.
The other teams were not deprived. There will be riders from Arkéa-Samsic on the Italian roads with Warren Barguil. The Frenchman displayed the ambitions of his training which will compete for the first time in the Giro. “Our number one ambition is to achieve our very first stage success”. The members of Ineos Grenadiers will likely be aiming for more than just a stage victory. In the team composition, we find Geraint Thomas (winner of the Tour de France in 2018) or Filippo Ganna who already has 6 stage victories on the Giro. He is aiming for a seventh success since “the inaugural time trial gives me an opportunity to start in a very positive way”. The first quoted, is for his part “can’t wait to take part in the Giro. The last two times, I have not even finished the race, so I hope that I can at least arrive in Rome”, joked one team veterans.
The Giro d’Italia 2023 will start from May 6 for a duration of 3 weeks and will therefore end on Sunday May 28, 2023.
Here is the start list of the Giro d’Italia 2023. The latter will be updated each time a team confirms its team. Here are for the moment the first names for this Giro.
