The Giro starts in the province of Piedmont, with a mid-mountain stage ending in Turin. From there and after 20 more stages, a route is presented that will end in Rome, with a new arrival to the sprint at the foot of the Colosseum to crown the winner of the pink jersey.
Tadej Pogacar He makes his debut in the Italian round and appears as the great favorite for the final victory, replacing his compatriot, Primoz Roglic winner of the 2023 edition who will not defend his crown. Cian Uijdebroeks, Geraint Thomas, Daniel Felipe Martínez, Ben O’Connor, Damiano Caruso, Nairo Quintana, Romain Bardet, Giulio Ciccone or Eddie Dubar They are other favorites in the race.
