Giro d'Italia 2023 preview
The fight for the pink jersey is on, as the world's best riders take on the 106th edition of the Giro d'Italia. The first time trial begins today at 12.50pm BST / 7.50am ET with the final rider of the day beginning at 3.45pm BST / 10.45am ET. It's set be a thriller.
With 2021 champ Egan Bernal and 2022 winner Jai Hindley both absent, choosing to focus on the Tour de France instead, reigning world champion Remco Evenepoel, three-time Vuelta winner Primoz Roglic, and Tour de France-winner Geraint Thomas are among the bookies favourites to taste glory this time out.
Kicking off in the picturesque eastern coastal town of Ortona in Abruzzo, before winding its way through the Italian mainland, this year's race features 176 riders representing 22 teams. Covering 2168 miles, this year's schedule includes a brief trip through the Swiss region of Valais which dovetails Stage 13 and 14.
The riders are set to clock up a calf-destroying total of 168,600 ft of altitude gain over the course of the three week tour, with this year's final stage featuring a flat procession rather than the individual time trial finish we've come to expect from the event.
It's an event no cycling fan will want to miss, so get planning for three glorious weeks of cycling on TV. Here's how to watch a 2023 Giro d'Italia live stream online from anywhere.
