The men's Giro d'Italia is over for another year, and as riders and everyone in the Giro caravan head home or to the next race, the emotions of the race become memories to remember, moments to savour and problems to forget.
The Giro d'Italia is often chaotic and sometimes confusing, but I love it and embrace it all.

The 2026 Corsa Rosa may not go down in history as a legendary edition of the race, but it was again packed with drama and feel-good moments that only Italy and the Giro can create.
