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.

How to watch Giro d’Italia 2023 live stream from anywhere
If you’re abroad and discover that your usual cycling stream is geo-blocked, then the only alternative that we know is to use a VPN to dial back to your home country. The software is perfect for this as it allows you to change your IP address and appear to be in a completely different location – and all through a safe, encrypted connection. Here’s how to get started.
The Giro d’Italia heads off from Fossacesia Marina, midway down Italy’s eastern Adriatic coast, on Saturday 6 May 2023, arriving in Rome three weeks later, on Sunday 28 May. The big clash is expected to be between Primož Roglič of Jumbo-Visma and Remco Evenepoel of Soudal–QuickStep. The two last went head to head at the 2022 Vuelta a España; Roglič abandoned after a crash, Evenepoel finished as overall winner.
It’s only just over 160km between the race’s start and end points, but in the interim riders will have covered 3,489.2km, an average of 166.2km a day. They’ll have taken in the best vistas Italy has to offer, as well as a short excursion over the Great St Bernard pass into Switzerland. They’ll also have climbed over 51km vertically.
