Italy’s capital will again host the grand finale of the cycling race, which starts in Trieste on 8 May and ends on 30 May.The 110th Giro d’Italia will end in Rome on Sunday 30 May 2027, organisers have confirmed. It will be the ninth time the capital has hosted the finish of the race, and the fifth consecutive year.The route was presented on Tuesday at the Auditorium Parco della Musica Ennio Morricone in Rome. Alessandro Onorato, the city’s councillor for major events, sport, tourism and fashion, welcomed the guests alongside senior figures from RCS MediaGroup, the race’s organiser. In addition to the last four years, Rome has hosted the end of the race in 1911, 1950, 2009 and 2018 when the stage was cut short because of the poor state of the city’s streets. The winner of the pink jersey will lift the Trofeo Senza Fine, the race’s trophy, in Rome, with the podium set up in the shadow of the Colosseum. The race begins on Saturday 8 May in Trieste, which will host the Grand Start for the second time after 1981. It will cover 21 stages over 23 days, with two rest days, totalling 3,418.9 kilometres and 50,250 metres of climbing. The first stage starts and ends in Trieste, with a loop into Slovenia, and the second runs entirely in Slovenia, from Ljubljana to Koper. The route then heads down the Adriatic coast to Abruzzo and on to Naples, which will host a stage finish for the sixth year running. Two time trials, in Abruzzo and from Monza to Milan, add up to 56.9 kilometres against the clock. The third week looks set to decide the race. The 16th stage from Sondrio to Aprica covers 192 kilometres and 5,700 metres of climbing, taking in the Mortirolo and the Gavia. The penultimate stage on 29 May finishes on Monte Zoncolan, the last chance for riders to overturn the standings before the procession into Rome. This year’s presentation also introduced a project linking the Giro d’Italia and the Giro d’Italia Women with Italy’s spiritual walking routes, including the Via Francigena, the Via Romea Strata, the Cammino di San Benedetto and the Cammino di San Francesco.
