Challenging start already in Turin, then we go up to Oropa

This morning the Grande Partenza of the 2024 Giro d'Italia was presented in Turin. It will be the city of Mole itself that will host the arrival of the first stage, on 4 May, which will start from Venaria Reale and will end after 136 km and 1,450 meters of altitude with the Superga climb, to commemorate the 75 years since the tragedy of the Great Turin, and the Colle della Maddalena.

The second stage will start from San Francesco al Campo and will end at the Sanctuary of Oropa in the Biella area, the scene of Marco Pantani's splendid feat in 1999. The runners will cover 150 km, with a difference in altitude of 2,250 metres.

After two challenging stages, a route suitable for sprinters arrives in the third stage, from Novara to Fossano of 165 km. The fourth stage will start from Acqui Terme , towards Liguria.

Piedmont hosts the start of the Giro d'Italia for the fourth time: the rest of the route, about which abundant spoilers continue on the web and in local newspapers, will be officially presented on Friday 13 October in Trento.
