The presentation will be in October.

According to Cyclingnews.com:

"The 2011 Giro d'Italia will celebrate the 150th anniversary of the unification of Italy and is likely to start in Sicily and end in Turin".

With Alberto Contador, Riccardo Riccò and Ivan Basso all coming, I hope personally for a very hard route with many steep mountains (and not like 2009 edition).

hopefully but we dont know for sure if Ac is coming.

and that mountain tt in 09 was brutal.
 
This 2010 have been very good edition.
I was forced at home so i got live most of it, and enjoyed every day of race.
AC is really coming? Will he run to win or to train?
It would be very nice to have such good climbers battle against each other!
PS: I hope Evans is coming back too, I mean this new attacking one!

I think 2010 was a great race (action almost every day) but the route lacked some mountains in the first two weeks in my opinion.

Hopefully 2011 will be close to the 2008 route, which was awesome! :cool:
