The Giro d'Italia 2024 marks the 107th edition of the Italian Grand Tour. Starting at the Venaria Reale, just outside Turin, the route heads south towards Naples before travelling back north and into the Dolomites. Day 21 and the final stage sees a city circuit around the streets of Rome.

The three-week event is the opener in the trio of Grand Tours, followed by the Tour de France and the Vuelta a España.

Last year's winner, Primož Roglič, is not expected to attempt to defend the title, instead focusing on the Tour de France - so we can expect a new leader in pink for 2024. Wout van Aert has advertised his desire to claim the GC at the Italian race this year, whilst Geraint Thomas has set his sights on a Giro/Tour double.

This year, Cycling Weekly will be covering the race with daily race reports, reactions following each stage, and analysis as the Italian showdown progresses.

Giro d'Italia 2024: The jerseys

The rider wearing the pink jersey (maglia rosa) at the Giro d'Italia 2024 will be the one leading the general classification. This is the rider who has accumulated the fastest time around the route so far, inclusive of time bonuses collected. On the final day, it is awarded to the overall general classification winner along with the Trofeo Senza Fine.

There are other jerseys up for grabs too. The purple (ciclamino) jersey is awarded to the rider who has accumulated the most points. More points are offered at the end of flatter, punchier stages than on mountain finishes, so this is a jersey for the sprinters. The blue (azzura) jersey goes to the rider who accumulates the most points on classified climbs, and the white (bianca) jersey is like the pink jersey but given to the best young rider under 26.
