Organisers RCS Sport have released the definitive stage list for the 89th Giro d'Italia, which runs between May 6 and May 28. Starting in Seraing (Bel) with a 6.2 km time trial, the Giro spends four days in Belgium before transferring on the first Wednesday to Italy. The first stage on Italian soil will be a 38 km team time trial between Piacenza and Cremona. The plan to split the final day into two stages has been scrapped, and the race will finish with a 140 km stage between the Museo Del Ghisallo and Milan.
