About the Tour
Immerse yourself in the energy of one of the world’s greatest cycling events.
“Giro Live Experience” is designed for those who want not only to ride, but also to be part of the Giro atmosphere – to feel the tension before the start, the speed of the riders, and the excitement of the crowd.
This is not a classic cycling tour. It is an event-driven experience.
We will combine riding along the route with watching the race, adapt to the dynamics of the event, and experience something that cannot be replicated in the same way.
