Starts May 7 and finish 3 weeks later Sunday, May 29 in Milano Duomo. Riding a total of 3496 kms.
Climbing the Etna volcano in southern Sicily and a grand finale on the dirt road climb of the Colle delle Finestre near Sestriere., but also 40 major mountain climbs and seven mountain finishes and visiting 17 of the 20 regions of Italy during the three weeks of racing.
The race will be the most spectacular of all, the only problem is which riders will want to race it.
The race route design will be very demanding and any racer wanting to win the Tour de France 2011 might skip the Giro.
