Ukraine acknowledges and appreciates intention to host 2024 Giro d'Italia start

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba welcomes the proposal of Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani to hold the first stage of the prestigious Giro d'Italia cycling race next year in Ukraine.

“I applaud Antonio Tajani’s proposal to hold the first stage of next year’s prestigious Giro d’Italia cycling event in Ukraine. A great example of sports truly uniting people and nations. Grazie mille, Antonio and all of our Italian friends, for having faith in Ukraine’s victory,” Kuleba said on Twitter.

This would be the second time within three years period that Giro d'Italia would begin outside Italy, having started with three stages in Hungary in 2022.
