The 109th Giro d'Italia starts this Friday in Bulgaria - three weeks, 3,459 kilometres and 50,000 metres of climbing all the way to Rome. Jonas Vingegaard is the clear favourite, chasing the third Grand Tour of his career and the treble that would put him alongside Merckx, Hinault, Anquetil, Gimondi, Contador, Nibali and Froome.
We break down the route stage by stage - the Bulgarian Grande Partenza, Blockhaus on stage 7, the 40-kilometre Tuscan time trial, the five-star showdown at Pila, and the Dolomite double of Piani di Pezzè and Piancavallo that will decide the pink jersey. Then the GC favourites: Giulio Pellizzari carrying the hopes of an entire country, Adam Yates stepping into UAE's leadership role, Derek Gee returning to where it all began, Egan Bernal closer than he has been in years, Thymen Arensman, Jai Hindley, Felix Gall, and the question of who can actually push Vingegaard.
