Print Edition
THE 100th Giro d’Italia next year will start with three stages in Sardinia.
It will be the third time the Italian grand tour has started on the island, although it will be the first time in 10 years. Fabio Aru, who became the first Sardinian to wear the Giro leader’s pink jersey last year, was present at the announcement yesterday in Milan. “It makes me really proud to know that the Giro will be starting from my home,” Aru said. “It would be really nice to take part in a start like this. We will make our plans for 2017 in November.” The rest of the route will be unveiled on October 25. It is expected the Giro will visit as many of Italy’s 20 regions as possible to mark its 100th edition. The Giro will set off from Alghero on May 5, 2017, on an undulating 203-kilometer route along the island’s northern coast to Olbia. Stage two is a hilly 208km leg from Olbia to Tortoli, which could also end in a sprint, while the final day in Sardinia is a mainly flat 148km from Tortoli to Cagliari.
