The highlight: a ride to Aprica with 5,700 altitude meters, twice the Mortirolo and the Gavia.
Week 1: punchers, Sassotetto and a time trial uphill
The opening weekend is not for pure sprinters. The first leg starts and finishes in Trieste, with a final for the punchers. Day two begins in Ljubljana, Slovenia, and ends in Capodistria (Koper), again with a climb just before the finish line. Day three ends after a climb in Possagno. The sprinters get their first chance on day four, on the motor circuit in Misano.
As usual in the Giro, the climb takes place early. Already on the fifth day, the first mountain stage begins, to Sassotetto. The start is in Filottrano, in honor of the deceased Michele Scarponi. After a sprint race, a short climb follows on day seven. time trial uphill from 19.6 kilometers to Campo di Giove.

Our perspective
A Giro without long boring stages. The opening weekend with three tough finales immediately creates spectacle; the time trial uphill and the flat time trial to Milan require a complete rider, and the third week with Aprica, Madonna di Campiglio and the Zoncolan is downright tough. Just like in the Tour of 2027 A climber who can also race time here wins.
