Giro d'Italia organisers RCS are reportedly locked in a debate with cycling's professional teams over the costs and financial help available for the race's Grande Partenza in Bulgaria in May, with the teams rejecting the first two sums offered.
The men's Giro is set to start in Bulgaria on May 8, with three stages in the country whose capital is some 1,200km away from Rome, which will mark the second-consecutive foreign start for the race after Albania last year, and the third since 2022.
