Every morning a show at the start

The wake-up. The routine that begins again and repeats itself for three weeks: eating breakfast, getting ready and then heading by bus to the start area. All this and much more happens every morning during the Giro d’Italia — and by now almost every racer goes through the motions without even thinking, before the day really starts and with it the hard effort in the saddle, which will end only in the late afternoon. But back to the team bus area, where the first crowds are gathering. And how could it be any different? Every cycling fan circles in red on the calendar the day in May when the Corsa Rosa comes to town and looks forward eagerly to breathing in the excitement of elite-level cycling, hearing the noise of the wheels on the asphalt, and being able to watch his or her own heroes from just a few centimetres away. This is how it was during the three Sicilian stages, which re-embraced the Giro d’Italia after the extraordinary interlude in Israel. It’s a colourful invasion, with pink as the dominant colour to celebrate the arrival of the 101st edition of the most beloved race in Italy. Beginning in the ...

Jerusalem: The Big Start!

Never, in any of the 100 previous editions, has the Giro d’Italia ventured so far to the east. And neither the Tour nor the Vuelta has been so daring as to leave the borders of Europe. But times change, the Corsa Rosa is now a celebration known around the world (194 countries connected!) and, as a tribute to the legendary Gino Bartali, the Giro organizers decided to start in Israel this year. The festivities got underway with a beautiful individual time trial in Jerusalem, a city considered holy by three ancient religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam), a true centre of the world, which for the first time was able to host a cycling event of the highest level on its historic streets. It was a picturesque start that held special meaning for Castelli. After 26 years, the scorpion is back on the pink jersey and the leaders’ jerseys for all the special classifications. The first rider to pull on the highly coveted symbol of achievement was Tom Dumoulin, who was also the last to do so, having worn it triumphantly in Milan at the conclusion of the previous edition. On the podium in Jerusalem, he again put on pink, covering ...
