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

[pastronef]

Yes absolutely

and if they do sell, One Cycling chances will get suddenly better (and as posted in the One Cycling thread, Flanders Classics owner just waits to get the Saudi money too)

 

[Mayomaniac]

WOW
I think RCS knows the Saudi money is huge and they'll be the first to sell out to them

How long until the Giro get's dakared and moved to Arabia? Ok, the can do that with the first half of the race if they include one of those 4-5 harder than the Zoncolan climbs that Saudi Arabia has every year.

not moved, but a start from there will come sooner than we might think. when I heard the Saudis were ready to splash big money the first word that came to my mind was -RCS-

There were rumours about a Giro start there already for this year, so it's gonna happen in the next few years...

All sport is going there, I wouldn't be suprised if they tried to do a grand Tour there in the future. At the end of the day if they are offering huge money I don't blame the organisers.

A season finale winter grand tour in Saudi Arabia... Except it's 35 stages or something...

I mean, they do have stuff like this that is paved and on nice roads...

goat tracks Vuelta style

I think we will see a departure from Saudi Arabia in the next years but I imagine that it won't be in may because the climate is too warm. Flanders Classics are in total agreement with the One Cycling Project and we will see the reaction of ASO. I bet in the next years the Tourcentrism will be in real danger...

the most followed races outside our little niche of cycling fans are Roubaix and the TDF. the ASO-centrism will go on, thank god

They wanted to start the race around the Alula precinct, however, they do not yet have the infrastructure.

 

[Onizuka999]

I'm pretty sure they will announce Bardiani Polti Tudor and Q36.5.

This year there won't be the usual two intermediate sprints and the intergiro, instead there will be the new Red Bull KM sprint where the first will take 6" the second 4" and the third 2". There will be one RBKM for each stage except for the two ITTs obviously.

 

[Red Rick]

"Rogla you can't forget about this bonus sprint this time"

"Why not ah?"

"Sponsor obligations"

"I thought I was supposed to sell kitchens, not this sprinting ***"

I guess it'll nonetheless be three sprints per stage. Can't make it too easy for the Eurosport commentators.

No Recta Contador despite rumours:

No Recta Contador despite rumours:

It's just such a pointless stage design.

No Recta Contador despite rumours:

Petulant Whiners United is always justified.

 

[Red Rick]

It's just such a pointless stage design.

It doesn't need Recta Contador. The problem is that it's about 30km too long

Spoiler

Gavia instead of Mortirolo is waayyyy shorter

Thats my point, just a pointless stage full stop. Maybe Gavia and Bormio 2000 would work, and have this is a back up incase Vegni does a Vegni.

No Recta Contador despite rumours:

Breakaway stage with a fruitless GC attack on Le Motte.

Think I would take Recta Contador over Gavia. Change that and put Tzecore close to the finish and suddenly I genuinely like this route

 

[pastronef]

No Recta Contador despite rumours:

I did read yesterday on an Italian website, forgot which, the works were ready, new tarmac being laid. who knows

 

[Mayomaniac]

They should have put Gavia in and just have the faux-Mortirolo as the alternative.
Hell, give me the 2012 side of the Mortirolo!
