The 2019 Giro d’Italia
The 102nd edition of the race will cover 21 stages and a monstrous 3,518.5km of riding over 23 days, which includes several summit finishes, three individual time trials, five ‘high difficulty’ stages, and a few flat stages.
This year’s route will be a challenging one, with a good balance between time trials and mountain stages. It’s packed with climbs, some of which are brand new, while others are iconic, such as the Gavia and Mortirolo.

She’s spent the past three years volunteering as a mechanic and workshop coordinator at the Bristol Bike Project, and now sits on its board of directors. Her expertise in bikes — and what people want out of them — comes from working in real-world bike shops and learning the ins and outs of the industry. At home on slicks and knobblies alike, Mildred’s ideal ride covers long distances through remote countryside, on mixed terrain that offers a bit of crunch.
