The route of one of the key stages of the 2023 Giro d'Italia is in doubt over concerns over rider support vehicles. Organisers planned to finish the stage 20 mountain time trial at Monte Lussari on a narrow path that would preclude cars from following riders.

Cyclingnews has seen a letter sent by the AIGCP teams association stating that the concerns were raised with the UCI in March after learning that the Giro organisers RCS Sport were expecting to provide mechanical assistance by motorbike.
