After the success of the Colosseum as a backdrop for the awards ceremony, the arrival of the Giro d'Italia in Rome has been confirmed, with a possible passage inside the Vatican City to celebrate a very important event for the Eternal City.

Among the rumored innovations is a pass in Slovenia in honor of the last two winners of the Giro d'Italia, Primoz Roglic and Tadej Pogacar, as well as the climb to Sestriere (Venice).
Two-time Tour de France winner Jonas Vingegaard and Olympic champion Remco Evenepoel are expected to feature from the start, although Vegni does not a priori rule out the presence of Tadej Pogacar. "Dreams cost nothing. So why rule them out in the first place?" he said.
