News about the 2026 Giro d'Italia route continues to multiply, even though the official presentation will take place on December 1, 2025.

The already announced departure from Bulgaria with three stages is certain, while the remaining previews should be taken as unofficial, even if news that is gaining increasing strength and credibility has been circulating for several weeks now.

After the start abroad, the arrival in Rome and the queen stage with Giau, Falzarego and the final ascent to Piani di Pezze seem to be a done deal: a legendary stage with over 5,000 meters of altitude difference.

The caravan, after Bulgaria, should then pass through Calabria, pass through Naples and reach the Blockaus with the first real climb.

Other rumors suggest another border crossing is likely, this time into Switzerland, on another truly mountainous day. Finally, a return finish in Madonna di Campiglio could occur, 27 years after that terrible June 5th and the Marco Pantani scandal.
