The final stage and a time trial in Verona on a familiar course. There’s still a stage win up for grabs even if the big story is whether Jai Hindley can avoid a wobble to win the race overall.
Giro d’Italia Stage 20 Preview
The Giro rides on and yes it has the feel of a test of patience for the GC contenders and fans alike. We’ll see if the mythical passes of the Dolomites can discriminate between three riders who have proved inseparable for the last three weeks. Or will it all come down to the time trial in Verona tomorrow?
Giro d’Italia Stage 19 Preview
The mountain stages resume and today there’s a trip to Slovenia. It’s not a savage route – wait for tomorrow – but it should see a good battle for the stage win.
Giro d’Italia Stage 18 Preview

The Giro has a rest day in Salò, on the shores of Lake Garda, and a town arguably famous for its infamous moment, but that wasn’t the fault of the locals.
Who’ll have a spring in their step today? The area’s hoteliers will rejoice, room occupancy must be high given there have been so few abandons in this Giro. Less so the organisers RCS and TV rights holders given among the few who have left the race are many of the stars, from sprinters to overall contenders. So far the “fight for pink” hasn’t come alive, the race lead has only moved from Mathieu van der Poel to Juan-Pedro Lopez and now to Richard Caparaz. If it can change shoulders more often this week things will get fascinating.

The Giro goes into the Alps but today’s stage isn’t a summit finish, more a ride to the end of the valley.
Giro d’Italia Stage 14 Preview
Another Saturday, another circuit race and today’s stage is a tough one with steep climbs and twisting descents. It’s not the hardest stage of the Giro but it could be the most difficult, one handling error or a mechanical can spell ruin for the GC contenders.
