Next year's Giro d'Italia will
start in Jerusalem on Friday May 4 and end in Rome 3,546.2 km
later on Sunday May 27, organisers announced Wednesday. The
101st edition of the round-Italy classic, the world's
second-biggest stage race after the Tour de France, will feature
mountains like Etna, Gran Sasso, Zoncolan, Colle delle Finestre,
Sestriere and Cervinia, they said. Its 21 stages will include
two time trials, seven stages for sprinters and eight uphill
finishes. Briton Chris Froome, who last year became the third
man to do the Tour-Vuelta double, will be aiming for his first
Giro next year, he confirmed Wednesday.
