The seven Colombians present at the Giro d’Italia

The game will be in Monreale where a 15 kilometer time trial will mark the differences between the favorites and will be the best opportunity for the Colombian Rodrigo Contreras, a native of Villapinzón, Cundinamarca, of the Astana Pro Team, can give the best impression.

The expected packaging of the second stage arriving in Agrigento will be the first dispute between Colombians seeking to dominate the goals on the flat: Alejandro Gaviria UAE Team Emirates and Alvaro Hodeg Deceuninck-Quick-Step.

A fight to which he will join Juan Sebastian Molano UAE Team Emirates, king of speed in the last Tour Colombia 2.1, and which is expected to repeat in five more arrivals, four of them in the first week.

In the third stage, of a Giro that does not give truce, the dispute of the climbers will begin, the largest volcano in Europe, Etna with 20 kilometers of distance and 6.6% of inclination, will receive cyclists between its curves that reach the first category prize that the winner of the queen stage of the last edition of the Tour de France will surely take advantage of, Miguel Angel Lopez, from the Astana Pro team.

The mid-mountain stages, which begin on the fourth day with arrival in Villafranca Tirrena, will be those expected by the Colombian Jhonatan Restrepo from Androni Giocattoli-Sidermec, who will be able to dream of an escape and a victory in one of the seven broken lands and harbors that are linked.

Days that will also wait Éiner Rubio, the last confirmed Colombian from the Movistar Team, a team that has a young squad, who like the Colombian and with him, will seek to highlight perhaps in the stages of the high finals, five ports along the Giro that will be decisive for the podium final.

The 103rd edition of the Giro will have eight stages with more than 200 kilometers, with the 19th being the longest with 251 kilometers, starting from Morbegno and concluding in Asti. And the shortest stage will be the fourth, with a third category port and 140 kilometers. The contest will face the great “roosters”: Vincezo Nibali from Bahrain Merida, Geraint Thomas from Team Ineos, Simon Yates from Mitchelton Scott, Steven Kruijswijk from Team Jumbo-Visma, Rafal Majka from Bora-Hansgrohe and Jakob Fuglsang from Astana Pro Team .

Milan will host the platoon in its Duomo on October 25, which will strangely run when the leaves of the trees are brown and golden, and not as usual, in their first shoots. The last day will be decisive for those who compete in the “pink jersey”, as it will be a 15-kilometer time trial similar to the one that starts the contest in Sicily.

The last six stages of the Giro, which will not feature the champion of the last edition, the Ecuadorian Richard Carapaz, will coincide on the calendar with the first six of the Vuelta a España.
