The 100th Giro d'Italia will
strat on May 5, 2017 in Alghero, the first of three Sardinian
stages, and will land back in peninsular Italy after two stages
in Sicily, organisers said Tuesday.
The round-Italy classic, the world's second-biggest stage
race after the Tour de France, will end with an individual time
trial from the Autodromo di Monza to Milan's, where the winning
pink jersey will be awarded.
In all, the race will cover 3,572.2 km including six
sprinters' stages, seven medium climbs and six steep climbs, and
two time trials.
The race is organised each year by RCS Sport-La Gazzetta
dello Sport.
Last year Vincenzo 'the Shark' Nibali won his second Giro.
