Giro d’Italia in Rome

Final stage of the 108th edition in the heart of the Eternal City

After 3,413 kilometers and 52,500 meters of elevation gain, the 108th edition of the Giro d’Italia — part of the 2025 UCI World Tour — will come to a glorious close in the Eternal City, with breathtaking sprints and spectacular breakaways. The 2025 edition promises to be one of the most thrilling in recent years, featuring 19 teams and a total of 200 riders.

One of the most iconic sporting events in the world, a symbol of endurance and Italian identity, the Corsa Rosa was born in 1909, an initiative of La Gazzetta dello Sport. Over the course of more than a century, it has withstood wars, social revolutions, and generations of champions, growing from a national treasure into an international spectacle.

Today, the Giro also visits other European countries — such as Hungary, Northern Ireland, the Netherlands, Denmark, and, in this edition, Albania, with the Grand Départ from Durrës on May 9 — but Italy remains its main stage. The route winds through the Alps and Apennines, along coastlines and hills, telling new stories of hardship and triumph every year. The 21st and final stage will take place in Rome, where ancient streets set the stage for modern-day battles.

The Giro’s roll of honor includes names that shaped the legend of cycling: Fausto Coppi, winner of five editions between 1940 and 1953, and his great rival Gino Bartali, a symbol of resilience, who triumphed in 1936, 1937, and again in 1946, during the difficult postwar period. Then came giants like Eddy Merckx, the Belgian “Cannibal,” who also claimed five victories between the 1960s and 70s. In more recent years, the unforgettable Marco Pantani (1998) and the elegant Vincenzo Nibali (2013 and 2016) carried the torch of Italian cycling, thrilling millions of fans.

The absence of Tadej Pogačar opens the door for a new generation of contenders — though plenty of big names remain. Top contenders for the coveted maglia rosa include:

• Primož Roglič: the veteran Slovenian, fresh from victory at the 2025 Vuelta a Catalunya and Giro d’Italia triumph in 2023, leads Red Bull–Bora-Hansgrohe with his sights set on the top of the podium.
• Juan Ayuso: the young Spanish talent, captain of UAE Team Emirates and winner of the Tour de Romandie, is ready to attack in the mountains.
• Adam Yates: Ayuso’s teammate, a potential key support rider or surprise contender.
• Tom Pidcock: a brilliant and versatile Brit riding for Team Q36.5, aiming for a breakout performance.
• Antonio Tiberi: Italy’s rising hope, known for his grit and consistency on the toughest stages.
• Wout van Aert: the all-round Belgian star looking to bounce back after a few tough seasons.
• Mads Pedersen: already winner of Stage 1 in Tirana and former wearer of the maglia rosa, he’s one of the fiercest sprinters in the peloton.
• Egan Bernal and Richard Carapaz: both former Giro winners, still hungry for glory and not just riding as supporting cast.

As mentioned, the grand finale is set for June 1st: for the seventh time in its history, Rome will host the final stage of the Giro. The route will be stunning: starting from the Vatican Gardens — a tribute to the Jubilee and the recent passing of Pope Francis — the riders will pass through Ostia, the EUR district, and finally enter the historic center.

The city circuit will loop through Rome’s most iconic landmarks — from the Baths of Caracalla to the Colosseum, Imperial Forums, Piazza Venezia, Circus Maximus, and the Lungotevere. The 9.5 km route, repeated eight times, offers a spectacular blend of sport and history.

Spectators can enjoy the final stage for free along the entire route. Prime viewing spots include the Colosseum, the Forums, and riverside stretches of the Lungotevere. Arriving early is strongly recommended, as fans often secure their spots well in advance.

VIP areas and grandstands, especially near the finish line and main squares, are available through official hospitality packages. Before the riders arrive, the lively Carovana Pubblicitaria—a colorful parade of music, vehicles, and giveaways — will keep the crowds entertained.
