Electricity, energy, emotion, the Giro E is all this and much more and this year it already reaches an important milestone, that of five editions. Born in 2019, the Giro E has already grown exponentially thanks to the great work of RCS Sport & Events and is ready to amaze and be amazed in this edition.

We too will be there with great news: the social jersey will be "branded" Fantacycling and will be worn every day by the captains of the various teams.

The route was unveiled in Milan in the multimedia classrooms of the RCS Academy, and the 2023 edition is a candidate for the title of the most exciting edition ever. 1,150 kilometers in total, divided into 20 stages. From Abruzzo to the Dolomites , from the sea to the peaks, exalting the most authentic Italy, that of the province, far from the major tourist routes, but also the best known. The departure will be on May 6 from Fossacesia (Chieti) and the conclusion in Rome (as well as the Giro d'Italia), on May 28, flooding the capital with bikes, color and fans. It will be the fifth time that the Eternal City will accompany the Giro d'Italia to the final finish line: the first was in 1911, on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the Kingdom, the last in 2018, with the splendid arrival of Froome in the pink jersey against the backdrop of the Colosseum and the Imperial Forums. Another postcard image will be that of the departure of the Roman stage, in via della Conciliazione: in the background the Basilica of San Pietro.

Paolo Bellino, Chief Executive Officer and General Manager of RCS Sport : “It will be a highly spectacular edition. For the first time a stage of the Giro-E will be held entirely in foreign territory, and I am sure the conclusion in Rome will remain in the hearts of all the participants. But it will also be the greenest edition ever, because there are so many sustainability initiatives at Giro-E 2023. Today we need to have a different approach to organizing events, and that's what we've been working on for some time. Thanks to the collaboration with Nativa, we have added another piece to our path towards total sustainability".

A good 17 Teams and 10 Special Teams have entered and will only start in some stages: it's a record.

The teams will be led by former cycling champions such as Damiano Cunego and Giovanni Visconti who will put their experience at the service of their teammates: former legends of the sport of the past and simple enthusiasts who, thanks to Giro E, will be able to enjoy a unique experience.

During each stage, such as at the Giro d'Italia , the captains will wear the leader's jerseys; from the blue jersey to the green jersey, up to the brand new Fantacycling jersey . To guarantee this jersey, the captains and teams of the Giro E will have to do their best to produce content and social interactions: whoever gets the most interactions will wear the jersey day by day and finally win it at the end of the race. So it will also be up to you to "reward" your favorite influencers on two wheels and give them the Fantacycling social shirt . In addition, there will be other surprises that you will find on our app related to the Giro E.

A great satisfaction for us at Fantacycling to enter such a prestigious competition as protagonists, with the spirit that has distinguished us from day one; to share the passion for cycling together with pure fun.
