2024 Giro d'Italia to have Monte Oropa summit finish on stage 2
CyclingMonday, 09 October 2023 at 14:00
The 2024 Giro d'Italia begins to take serious shape and quite a few details are already known. The route will officially be announced on the 13th of October and so only the final touches remain for race organizers. It is virtually confirmed that stage 2 will have a summit finish up Monte Oropa.
This is one of the most iconic climbs in Italy and most recently had a very iconic moment in modern Giro history when Tom Dumoulin soared to victory in 2017. The climb has also been used in Gran Piemonte, the Italian region will host the first three stages of the race.
The opening day of the Giro should be quite hilly and will be difficult - possibly already a treacherous day for the overall classification, it will end in Torino. If not however, stage 2 will certainly already create important gaps with the 11.8 kilometer-long at 6% which ends besides the sanctuary and a beautiful cobbled road.

- Just making the note that it’s actually closer to 120 because most of it is consumed in the first 4 hrs, not evenly across 5 hrs up until the finish.crharnishphd04-12-2025

- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogačar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabal’s departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- calling him a star in cross before he beats MVDP or WVA is also a big stretch.mij04-12-2025
- I think once he's the undisputed leader in a race, he can become more consistent than he was in the past.Ride197404-12-2025
