Giro d'Italia 2025, here is the complete route
The complete route of the 108th edition of the Giro d'Italia 2025, scheduled from Friday May 9 starting in Tirana to Sunday June 1 finishing in Rome, è was unveiled at’Auditorium Parco della Musica Ennio Morricone in Rome.
It starts with three demanding stages – including an individual time trial along the streets of Tirana -: the first è challenging with arrival in the capital and finish with two close climbs also with double-digit gradients on the model of recent mountain stages in the city; the time trial will be followed by the Valona stage with the ascent of Qafa and Llogarasë, the first point above 1000 meters of the Corsa Rosa.
Monday, May 12 first rest day, then the restart with three stages potentially suitable for sprints but not necessarily from a compact group. It goes up the peninsula with the first uphill finish in Abruzzo in Tagliacozzo and, after the stage with arrival in Castelraimondo, space for the Gubbio-Siena, Bartali stage of this edition, with five sectors of white roads (about 30 km) in the final before the arrival in Piazza del Campo.
After the second rest day, Monday, May 19, it starts again in Tuscany with the Lucca to Pisa time trial, a modern-day re-run of the 1977 time trial won by Knut Knudsen. The next day celebrates the return to the Giro after 25 years of the San Pellegrino in Alpe climb within a very choppy stage finishing in Castelnovo ne’ Monti. Three interlocutory but tricky stages follow: Viadana in the sprint, Vicenza with closure on the Monte Berico climb and Nova Gorica/Gorizia with its cross-border circuit. The week concludes in Asiago with a very challenging 3900-meter climb stage although without an uphill finish.
The Trentino stage will start after the last rest day: five hard concatenated breathless climbs and uphill finish in San Valentino (Brentonico) on Monte Baldo overlooking Lake Garda. The arrivals in Bormio – a stage that includes the Pantani Mountain, the Mortirolo Pass – and Cesano Maderno precede two stages for the GC men. The first, from Biella to Champoluc, è short but offers a very challenging elevation gain (4950 meters). The Valdostane climbs will follow each other without intervals of plain until the arrival. The second one, from Verrès to Sestrière, è long and re-proposes the final Colle delle Finestre (8 km of dirt road and Cima Coppi 2025) and Sestrière couplet that since its first appearance in 2005 (20° anniversary) è a guarantee of spectacle. Grand finale in Rome with the circuit in the eternal city.
