    Giro d'Italia Rate the 2026 Giro d'Italia route

    I’m easy to please these days. Give me two Tappone stages in different weeks and you can do whatever you want with the rest of the route! That’s just my personal taste. Ever since I was a kid, the first thing I would check was the queen stage—let’s be honest. Everything else revolves around...

    Only 2 stages look OK. And one of them is too short. LOL. This is pitiful!

    Giro d'Italia Giro d'Italia 2026 Route: Speculation, Rumours and Announcements

    I have been watching cycling for a long time and I ca tell you that long TT are a real turn off. Do you think that watching those Indurain's Tours were fun? that is even more boring than anything else!!!!

    Il Lombardia 2025, monument, October 11

    European Championship 2025: Men’s RR, October 5
