2025 Giro d'Italia Overview
The 2025 Giro d'Italia marks the 108th edition of the Italian Grand Tour. The event is scheduled to be held from May 9 to June 1 with a Grande Partenza in Albania

2025 Giro d'Italia Route
RCS Sport, the organiser of the Giro d'Italia postponed the route announcement for the 2025 edition.
The organisation scrambled to play down reports of problems with the route of the men's race, insisting that the route presentation that was initially planned for November 12 in Rome was postponed due to simple 'technical problems'.
The organisation later announced the first three stages and confirmed an Albanian Grande Partenza.
The 2025 Giro d'Italia will start on Friday, March 9, with three testing stages in Albania before the race caravan travels to Puglia in southern Italy for an early rest day on May 12.
