Giro d'Italia 2023 preview
The fight for the pink jersey is on, as the world's best riders take on the 106th edition of the Giro d'Italia. With the race now in its last week, there is some serious work for the GC riders and their teams to do. Geraint Thomas is still leading the way with a 29-second lead over Primoz Roglic after making some more small gains in the mountains in the final days before the big ride into Rome.
Today it's Stage 19 which is sure to be another tester for the Welshman and another opportunity for Roglic and Team UAE to push Thomas all the way. It starts off with a casually leg sapping gradient before getting into the serious business of five categorized climbs including an insanely steep double to the summit finish of Tre Cime di Lavaredo.
With 2021 champ Egan Bernal and 2022 winner Jai Hindley both absent, choosing to focus on the Tour de France instead, reigning world champion Remco Evenepoel, three-time Vuelta winner Primoz Roglic, and Tour de France-winner Geraint Thomas were among the bookies favourites to taste glory this time out. However, disaster struck for race leader Evenepoel. The Belgian contracted Covid and has had to retire from the race.
The Giro d'Italia 2023 kicked off in the picturesque eastern coastal town of Ortona in Abruzzo, before winding its way down through the Italian mainland and then back up again. This year's race features 176 riders representing 22 teams, covering 2168 miles. This schedule included a brief trip through the Swiss region of Valais which dovetailed Stage 13 and 14.
The riders are set to clock up a calf-destroying total of 168,600 ft of altitude gain over the course of the three week tour, with this year's final stage featuring a flat procession rather than the individual time trial finish we've come to expect from the event.
It's an event no cycling fan will want to miss, so get planning for three glorious weeks of cycling on TV. Here's how to watch a 2023 Giro d'Italia live stream online from anywhere.
