On Saturday 6 May, the first Grand Tour of 2023 will start: the Giro d'Italia. Between Fossacesia Marina and Rome, there will be three weeks of competition for the iconic pink jersey. This edition features a brutal final week, with the decision in the general classification possibly not happening until the final Saturday. An individual time trial to the top of Monte Lussari awaits then. Containing 5 kilometres at over 15(!) percent.
For the general classification, all eyes are on the duel between Remco Evenepoel and Primož Roglič. The duo made it a spectacle at the Volta a Catalunya, so expectations are high. Other favourites at the start include Mads Pedersen, Filippo Ganna, João Almeida, Aleksandr Vlasov, Giulio Ciccone and Geraint Thomas.

The Fantasy Giro d'Italia (15+5) will start at Saturday 6 May 2023 at 13:50.
To create a team every player enters 15 riders and 5 substitute riders. When a rider does not start in a stage, then the first available substitute takes his place. The points of the drop-out will remain in your total points scored, the points of the substitute will only count from start of the next stage.
The game will cost $13,67/€12.50/£11,01 per team and will start with a guaranteed amount of $21,875/€20,000/£17,615 in prizes. The first prize in the general classification (201 prizes) will be $2,187/€2.000/£1,760.
Be aware: there is no longer a 0 points jackpot. From now on we have 700 euro as first prize for the least points classification. This means that every grand tour the 765 USD/700 Euro/615 GBP will be won, even if no team finishes on 0 points.

- Are you MrMauMau 2.0? Nothing you are saying is really relevant. Vaguely connected, but irrelevant. The conversation is whether Schreiber impeded Brand or not.

parisbound0008-11-2026 - there needs to be space in life for pointless comments!Ketterechts08-11-2026
- That is a very lazy way of putting it but so far on this website it seems like everyone is happy to look at everything lazily, even things that annoy them intensely. All they want to do is state their feeling and position but ask most to analyse a problem or come up with solutions or improvements and you’re stunned by silence. Nobody even really knows how this all happens. It’s very simple and quick to just say the UCI did it but I bet you they didn’t, I bet you not more than 2 people were involved, more likely just 1. The UCI may be ultimately responsible but it is not their decision, this is about hierarchy, power and delegation. The fact that protest is possible also means it isn’t over and that MORE people could get involved for a thorough review which could throw up anything. It is highly likely it was a sole commissar who decided and has that power in a first round. Therein might lie the problem the UCI has to consider, is it acceptable to give so much authority to one single person when it is quite possible for them to have a natural bias or be too easily susceptible to imposed bias. Who is to say an individual in this position isn’t susceptible to collaboration with outside players with interests in the results, nations, families, teams, betting companies, etc. On the one hand we have sports where these problems have been worked on way more to reduce such problems, on the other hand we have sports with far stricter and more draconian rules not even concerning safety or obstruction that nobody really questions like false starts or stepping out of lane or zones in athletics. If cycling hastowork on itself, it would be good if protagonists (all kinds) would start doing a little more than just moaning over outcomes.Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- Yes, so why not make comments less pointless?Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- What a race! I didn't expect Vanthourenhout to collapse like that, and Wyseure did take the fight to Nys, but there was no doubt at the end. I also wonder what Aubin Sparfel would be capable of were he to race in the elites now. In the U23 ranks he is making good work of Giel Lejeune, who himself is among the better riders in the elites, and a top 10 contender in the big races (3rd at Kleebergcross, 8th at Berencross and 5th at Heerderstrand). In the French Cup, Sparfel is significantly better than Romain Debord (8th at Koppenbergcross and 10th at the Euros) and Rémi Lelandais (12th at Koppenbergcross and 19th at the Euros).Rafionain-Glas08-11-2026
- There really was nothing in it. Schreiber was so much faster, and Brand was fighting to stay in the wheel in the sprint. Schreiber did move a bit, but to say she closed the door doesn't make sense because Brand couldn't enter it anyway, abd she wasn't impeded.Rafionain-Glas08-11-2026
