The 2020 Giro d’Italia ran from Saturday, October 3 until Sunday, October 25.
The Giro d’Italia typically takes place in late May through to June, but was postponed this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Giro d’Italia is one of professional cycling’s three Grand Tour races, alongside the Tour de France and Vuelta a Espana.
The 2020 Giro d’Italia was won by Tao Geoghega Hart of Great Britain, with Australia’s Jai Hindley finishing second and Wilco Kelderman of the Netherlands finishing third.
The Giro d’Italia was first raced in 1909 and was established by Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport, and has been staged on 103 occasions. It is raced across 23 days with 21 stages interspersed with two rest days, and normally concludes in the northern Italian city of Milan – although 2018 saw a break with tradition as the tour ended in Rome, while 2019 saw it end in Verona.
Three riders – Alfredo Binda, Fausto Coppi and Eddie Merckx – have tasted success at the Giro d’Italia on a record five occasions. Other notable winners of Italy’s most prestigious cycling race include Miguel Indurain, Marco Pantani and Alberto Contador.
