2021 Giro d’Italia

One of professional cycling’s three Grand Tours (along with the Tour de France and Vuelta a España), the 2021 Giro d’Italia (meaning Tour of Italy) is a 3 week long multiple-stage race held every year, primarily in Italy.

The 2020 pink jersey (maglia rosa), given to the General Clarification winner of the Giro d’Italia, was won by Great Britain’s Tao Geoghegan Hart of the Ineos Grenadiers. Geoghegan Hart finished 39 seconds ahead of Australia’s Jai Hindley.


Where is the 2021 Giro d’Italia?

The Giro is predominantly held in Italy but has been known to pass through neighbouring countries such as San Marino, France, Switzerland, Austria, Slovenia and the Vatican City State.

The start of the Giro, known as the Grande Partenza takes place in a different town each year. It has become more common for the start of the Giro to be held outside of Italy to increase international international interest in the event.
