Giro d'Italia Giro d'Italia 2025 Route: Speculation, Rumours and Announcements

Just start in a warzone, and Adam Hansen will have that peace treaty 5 minutes before the riders are supposed to depart

I swear I once read that Vegni wanted to start the Giro in Ukraine.

Calabria is highly unlikely.
Sicilia would be meh as always.

I would like a Sicily start. The racing would probably be tame but I'd like to be there for the cultural experience. I would hold up a massive poster of "Who is topcat" as the peloton slow paced by at 45 km/h.

Top Cat, the most effectual
Top Cat, whose intellectual
Close friends get to call him T.C.
Providing it's with dignity

Top Cat
The indisputable leader of the gang
He's the boss, he's the pip
He's the championship
He's the most tip top
Top Cat

Yes he's the chief, he's the king
But above everything
He's the most tip top
Top Cat

Giro d'Italia to start in Libya once Gadaffi Junior is elected president!? 😄

Still sad that we never got the Grande Partenza in Libya durning the Berlusconi-Gadaffi era...

 

[Mayomaniac]

Meanwhile RCS denies that there are any problems with the Albania deal and it's just because a "technical problem" that they are having atm.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Seriously, RCS couldn't manage a waffle house that benefits from waffle house raider Remco's carvings (and massive salary)...

 

[Rob5091]

The thing I love about the Giro is there's a possibility of chaos right up until (or sometimes after) the peloton have left the start.

Gotta love the Giro! 'technical problems'.

Isn’t this just fake Italian drama rcs rescue from to drive hype?

 

[sam6]

The Albania thing being canceled might actually be a good thing for the Giro, they will have less money so won't be able to afford to pay one of the big 4 and so create a more open race!

 

[Ricco']

Just start in a warzone, and Adam Hansen will have that peace treaty 5 minutes before the riders are supposed to depart

'We only found out last night that this country was at war, when suddenly we saw a mushroom cloud through our hotel window. After checking if it wasn't just Pogacar training, we ran a Whatsapp poll when 20 out of 21 teams decided to not run the stage as planned. After consulting with RCS, we reached a compromise and will run the stage with a plan B, where the passage through the mined road will be done in a neutralized way, with stewards with a red flag signalling the mines location."

4 are: Pog Rog Remco Jonas, no?
who is rumored to ride the Giro?

 

[Tim Cahill]

The Giro is so back, corruption and incompetence is deeply embedded within the history of this great race, and only adds to the intrigue and spectacle.

So the winner of the Giro will be whoever of the big 4 decides to take the money from RCS - unless 2 do, but have RCS that sort of cash laying around?

 

[JReed27]

They should pay them to stay away

 

[Red Rick]

They should pay them to stay away

Disappearance fee?

 

[Gotland]

Disappearance fee?

Alfredo Binda style!

 

[pastronef]

They should pay them to stay away

THIS. THIS. ABSOLUTELY THIS

 

[Peyroteo94]

How likely is having both Vingo and Pogi next year?

 

[Froome]

The Giro will be back when they comeback with the mythical climbs of the past. The Giro is getting too soft plus the incompetence.

 

[Berniece]

How likely is having both Vingo and Pogi next year?

2025? 0.01%

 

[scribers]

So you’re telling me there’s a chance.

YES!!

 

[E_F_]

I don't think my silly patriotic heart could take watching Pogi destroy Jonas in a Grand Tour twice in one year.

 

[Rob5091]

After their 2024, I think Visma will keep Vingegaard in cotton wool until the Tour next year. So we could see the likes of Vlasov versus Ayuso for the Giro.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Besides all the drama there are new rumours about the Trentino stage, a MTF on San Valentino from Mori, before that you have Santa Barbara from Acro.
So this climb

Right before a MTF in San Valentino, this climb until 4.5kms to go:

Could also be this side until 4.5kms to go, but I doubt it:

You know what could be fun?
If instead of having a big fancy presentation, they just casually publish the road book.
