Details of 2019 Giro d`Italia emerge
(Cyclingnews.com)
 


The 2019 Giro d`Italia is expected to include three time trials, but legendary climbs such as the Gavia, the Mortirolo, the Croce d`Aune and a new finish on the Col del Nivolet in the Alps will make for another mountainous and testing Italian Grand Tour.  The full route of the 2019 Giro d`Italia will be unveiled in Milan on October 31, but well-informed Italian newspaper La Stampa has published details of the route and even drawn a map of the expected parcours.

Egan Bernal is expected to lead Team Sky at the 2019 Giro, but could also be joined by Geraint Thomas, while Vincenzo Nibali (Bahrain-Merida) seems tempted to ride his home Grand Tour before perhaps targeting the Tour de France for a final time in 2020 and then riding the Tokyo Olympics. Peter Sagan (Bora-Hansgrohe) has also hinted he may finally skip the Tour of California to ride the Giro for the first time in his career. Chris Froome (Team Sky), who won the 2018 Giro d`Italia after launching a solo attack on the dirt-road Colle delle Finestre climb, is expected to focus on winning ...
