Along with its beautiful route throughout Italy, the Giro d’Italia is known for its drama. Unpredictable weather, chaotic finishes and brutally tough terrain make for a very difficult 21 days of racing.

This year’s Giro d’Italia has seen riders abandon, of course, through unfortunate crashes as there always are, but the field was also heavily affected by illness in the second week, with viruses and fever being reported across teams after the first rest day. That also continued into the final week, with the mountains and harsh weather not exactly kind on riders who were already suffering.
