The Giro d'Italia is starting this Saturday but ahead of the Grande Partenza news emerged over the 2024 edition. No details are yet confirmed about the race, but it is now known that the start could take place in Ukraine.
It has been rumoured in recent months that Slovakia, Belgium and Morocco have all applied in hosting the start of the Giro in 2024. After it's successful start in Budapest last spring the race is certain to start outside of Italian territory in 2024, but it is not yet known where that will be. The route will be announced in October, however details emerge over the possibility of it beginning in Ukrainian territory.

Antonio Tajani, Italian Foreign Minister, has said that "if the situation permits, the next edition of the Giro d'Italia will start from Ukraine. That would be a signal of attention from a country that we support very strongly.
The Eastern European country is currently in the midst of the most brutal war in Europe since World War II as it is defending itself from Russia. The European Union have largely been supportive and crucial in it's support for the largest European nation and Tajani confirms that it is a possibility to see the Giro begin there next year. Whilst Russia continues to wreak havoc and destruction in Eastern and Southern Ukraine, Kyiv is now under protection of advanced air defense systems, whilst the city of Lviv by the Polish border could also be a prime contender for this.

- You continue to platform these two cheats. With that in mind I can no longer use your site. I know my leaving means little, but, sometimes you have to take a stand. See ya!DJ21-12-2024
- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024

- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024

- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
