Wann
From 19 to 21 May 2024
Wo
Livigno
19 MAGGIO, MANERBA DEL GARDA-LIVIGNO
On 19 May we will witness the great return of the Giro to Livigno! It will start from Lake Garda and finish at high altitude, in what will be one of the main Olympic venues of Milan Cortina 2026, a highly symbolic and highly spectacular choice! In fact, the arrival will be at high altitude, at Mottolino, 2400 metres above sea level: the tough final act of the stage after 220km and a good 5,200m of elevation gain, the highest of the entire race.
20 MAY, REST DAY
20 May will be the caravan's rest day in Livigno, so what better occasion to tell you some history? The pink jersey had already passed through Livigno in the past, now we tell you more! The first time was in 1972, with the arrival of the Parabiago - Livigno stage on 7 June, and with the start of the Livigno - Passo dello Stelvio, the following day. It was a real piece of cycling history. That year it was the Belgian Eddy Merckx who won the stage and dominated the entire edition unchallenged. The Giro had then returned to Livigno in 2005, on the occasion of the MTB World Championships, with the Egna - Livigno stage won solo by Colombian Ivàn Parra. That Giro ended with the victory of Paolo Savoldelli! How will this Giro 2024 go?
21 MAY, LIVIGNO-VAL GARDENA
On 21 May, the start is planned in the direction of Val Gardena. The new stage will start from the Aquagranda and will also include the mythical Stelvio Pass. A very intense programme, which will allow Livigno to embrace the Giro and all its protagonists: from the teams to the riders, from the experts to the fans, for whom three days of great entertainment and side events will be planned, the perfect way to dive into the spirit and atmosphere of the most famous race in Italy.
