2015 » Giro d'Italia (2.UWT)
The Giro d'Italia. The greatest and most unpredictable of the Grand Tours. Less famous and therefore less structured than its sister the Tour de France, the Giro is a fantastic spectacle, with a perfect balance between spectacle and challenge. With a list of winners that is a who's who of cycling through the ages, the goal for this year's lineup is to get their hands on the Maglia Rosa, the Pink Jersey. And this year has a fascinating look to it. With 1 Individual time trial, 1 team time trial, 7 stages for sprinters, 8 medium mountain stages including 3 with a summit finish and then 4 high mountain with summit finishes, this race really does have something for everyone. Contador, Porte and Uran will fight for the overall win. Matthews and Greipel will be amongst the favourites for the flatter stages, and riders like Boonen and Gilbert will have their eyes on the hilly stages.
"Through its frequent peaks and troughs it prevails. It will continue so to do because it remains by a distance the most beautiful, and most captivating, of cycling's great stage races. Quintessentially and resolutely Italian, it is the perfect distillation of the [i]Bel Paese - entralling, esoteric and frequently unfathomable. That's as it should be for, despite the meddling of those who claim to know better, the Giro is still Italy's race, the country in microcosm.[/i]" Herbie Sykes, “Maglia Rosa; Triumph & Tragedy at the Giro d’Italia”
