Giro d'Italia 2026 Stages | After the mountains, one more sprint before the rest day.

The 2026 Giro d'Italia will begin in Bulgaria for its Grande Partenza, marking another unusual starting country chosen by race organizer RCS, before the race moves to Italy and concludes in Rome. The opening stage is expected to favor sprinters, while Stage 2 suits punchers, meaning the pink jersey could change hands early. Week two features the race's only time trial, a 40-kilometer test, while week three is characterized by relentless climbing.
