RCS Sport, the organiser of the Giro d'Italia, scrambled to play down reports of problems with the route of the men's 2025 Corsa Rosa, insisting that the route presentation planned for November 12 in Rome was postponed due to simple 'technical problems'. 

The route of the Giro d'Italia Women does not seem in doubt, with the concerns reportedly centred around the opening stages of the men's race in Albania.
